How do log homes compare to conventional homes in the amount of energy consumed for heating and cooling?
Wood House Homes are constructed of dead standing lodge pole pine. Wood is a natural insulator and log walls do not require additional insulation. In fact, the thermal mass of a solid log wall decreases the energy required to heat or cool a log home. The model energy codes throughout the country recognize this thermal mass value when determining the energy efficiency of a specific log home.
