It seems that anytime a group of people have a “build it better” discussion, we very quickly get to the extremes. Let’s not forget the “Bang for the Buck” principle. Standard house construction is 2x4 studs 16oc some insulation, chip board and vinyl. A 2x6 wall with studs 24oc, insulated board, wrapped & vinyl is better. Two non touching 2x4 walls with studs 24oc is a cut above. Anything above that and I wonder about the “Bang for the Buck” principle.
