[QUOTE="quad, post: 10106018, member: 17952"] No kidding about the bills. My parents were gone for the summer and I forgot to turn the air conditioning up to 78. It was at about 72 for two months. Their bill was $300 a month I believe - in part because the furnace is not 90% efficient and the windows date from the 80s. And this is a home that was just sitting there in the shade with more brick then windows. The insulation in the walls may also not be up to more modern standards. We did have a warm summer though... Your client's house sounds similar to SIP (Structurally Insulated Panels) construction tech - but with those the the insulation foam is a 4'x8' or larger sheet that is sandwiched with plywood or metal panels to form one structural unit. Exterior siding or masonry is then applied similar to normal construction. Or it could have a metal finish. The panels interlock with studs, i-beams, channels etc. Here is a home made with SIP panels: [IMG]http://gliving.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/taliesin-mod-fab-house-01.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
