So far, the insulation values is amazing. During the build this summer, the ONLY place in the house that EVER got hot, was the third floor, that had regular framing and, at that time, no insulation at all. The rest of the house — with NO AC — was completely comfortable.

I can’t wait to see our AC bill next summer. :)

They do require careful planning, but so does any good construction project.
The easy of heating was incredible. I firmly believe that this system of building will gain in popularity in leaps and bounds in the years to come.
