does anywone know anything about using a combination of stucco and formcore curtain wall for residential use?

We Answered:

The stucco(plaster) is good for inner walls. Why ? Because it absorbs the moisture from the inside air when it is in excess and release it when the air is dry. That is not good for outside walls because in spring and autumn the outer air it is full of moisture, the plaster wall absorb it and keep the humidity in the building. For outside, the best are the expanded polystyrene insulation panels, glued with a special mortar to the bricks, or bolted with special bolts, covered with a special plastic mesh and plastered with a special mortar in which you can put the colorant what you choose. It gives a very resistant surface which can be washed many times and don`t need painting. If you use thick insulation panels (8 - 10 cm), you can increase the heat resistance of your home so much that the energy saving is so high, that in a few years pays your investment.
The best solar panel, is what you find in your neighborhood, the shipping increase the price.

Can you easily reduce your energy use painlessly and at modest upfront cost?

We Answered:

I have a solar water heating system that will hopefully make it through another hurricane season. All bets are off.

I have all energy and water efficient appliances, but it's a slippery slope. In order to get my clothing as clean as they should be, I need to run the washer for longer than my old one. So, do I save water or energy?

We also sprayed soy foam insulation in our rafters. That reduced our costs significantly.

I walk daily, but the grocery store is 4 miles away and it's darned hot here!
