BUILDING A COB HOUSE IN COLD CLIMATES - INSULATED COB WALLS

Learn how to build a cob house with my 10 hour cob building video course: http://www.members.thiscobhouse.com/online-cob-house-workshop/ Cob and earthen materials have an insignificant insulation value. A foot thick of cob has roughly an R3 insulation value, which will not keep the inside of the building insulated or pass codes. You can sandwich 4" of insulation in between two layers of cob to create a highly insulated cob wall. This is how rammed earth walls are insulated and it works very well. This method is a bit controversial to many Natural Builders, but I like it and I think it can be beneficial for a lot of people. It will help you insulate and help you pass codes and get building approval. #ThisCobHouse #cobhouse #naturalbuilding #naturalhomes #rammedearth #sustainableliving #homesteading #offgridliving #greenbuilding #homesteadlife #selfsufficiency #cobhouses #doityourself #diy
