Are they in Canada as well? Here the weather is harsh and I don't know how they will address the Building Science and condensation issues on the inside of the SIP panels. Also, what if the ceramic sheet cracks or shatters - it will then lose its structural strength. Or is there a way to deal with this. And, how are services provided inside in the panels. Appreciate your answers. I am interested in getting these type of houses in Canada.

Love this! Sound control is so important in a house. So many homes are built where you can hear someone blink from another room and that really messes with the sense of privacy especially when you have a family.

Fascinating! It's amazing how a background in art (in this case music) could be the driver of this incredible tech... and with so much inplications on a neglected human experience which is acoustics. Thanks Dr. Finnur for this great interview... and of course Belinda for the always great questions. Cheers!

Eco Building materials consultant here....thank you for sharing these interesting podcasts. May I just throw in my two pence here? Could there be a mistake at 3:30 when he says that air is highly conductive?! It is actually the opposite. Air gaps within insulation can actually enhance the insulation properties of a wall. Air itself is a poor conductor of heat (not the opposite as stated in the video), meaning it doesn't transfer heat efficiently. This characteristic is why air is often used in insulation, either trapped in foam, fibrous materials, or as a controlled air gap between layers.

So, everything we need to know is between 43:20 and 44:06? Basically build with stone or concrete coated with Zirconia? What material do you build a house with that is impervious to fire, mold, termites, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc? I want to build a small house in Florida that can withstand all these things. I don’t care about aesthetics. I don’t care if pipes or electrical conduit is visible on the inside. I want practical, sturdy and healthy. I also don’t care if it costs more per sqft. I’d be right and smaller. What should this house be made of?

Oh yeah I've been into affordable for a while and I'm working on a product for that. I had a meeting with the State office that manages affordable funding. I was trying to develope a permanent affordable product. The affordable program has spent billions over 30 years and there are ZERO affordable units in the market from those funds as the loan agreement runs off at 20 or 30 years. I believe that 10% of affordable funding can be put into at least 100 year affordable product. I think that can then be improved to permanent affordable housing. Let's talk. I understand if each of you are charging consulting fees for a virtual meeting. If you want face to face I can come to you. Or fly you out for a hike. Thanks Rodger OH yeah I'm 54, contractor, builder and a landlord. 25+ years experience.

Not really. Primary energy for making pumice is quite high (and I am not talking about extraction the clay and adding cement). With density of 1000kg/m3 the is lambda 0,4 and strawbale has cca 0,05 so technically pumicecrete is 8x worse insulation then strawbales.

Straw belongs in the soil to build organic matter. If they used fertilizer to grow the crop, it's not 'renewable.'
@MarianOntkoc6 ай бұрын
accually not really. Straw is cellulose = source of carbon, not nitrogen. If we calculate carbon cycle during lifespan is zero (methane produced during decomposition). If we put straw out of the cycle and hold it for 80-100 years, we can absorb a lot of carbon from athmosphere. And straw is waste product in agriculture, it grows every year in large quantities.
@indivisibleman85966 ай бұрын
@@MarianOntkoc Where do you think the straw comes from? The Krebs Cycle of the oat straw or wheat straw depends on N2 to elongate the cellular structures in order to create the cellulose yield in tons/ acre so that harvesting it is economically viable.
@indivisibleman85966 ай бұрын
@@MarianOntkoc Also, straw is not a waste product in agriculture. Farmers bale it and use it for livestock feed and bedding. I stacked enough of it in the barn to know. The only straw left on the field is the 2 inches of stubble, and no, it doesn't turn into methane, it builds organic matter in the soil and over time the aerobic and anaerobic bacteria breaks it down so the carbon, P, K, and N left in it becomes plant available and is used by following crops in the rotation.

@@indivisibleman8596 I am talking about dry straw at the harvest. There is no Nitrogen. Carbon is necessary during compost process, but composting emits greenhouse gases. Wheat straw isn't that nutritious to feed the stock and it is agricultural byproduct. Is it good source of homogenous cellulse.
