[Greenbuilding] Best House

[Gennaro Brooks-Church - Eco Brooklyn]

Hi,
I appreciate the benefits of Insulated Thin-Shell Concrete but am not sure
if that's more of a transition solution rather than a long term solution.
Anything with concrete is suspect to me for long term solutions. It makes
me think of early vegetarian food that tried to be like meat instead of
finding its own identity. For me insulated concrete is still in the world
of our current construction, which I'd like to transcend to a whole new
level. A good metric for me is to ask what would happen if everyone in the
world started using that material. First off is that affordable? Is it the
most sustainable solution? Is it viable on a production level even?

Thanks!
Gennaro
