stationary air is an amazing thermal insulator

they look like this tho

yeah i renovated my house entirely too

it takes a year or so

nerth

but its worth

that snow town

where is that

Italy

they're giving away houses in that town

yes but where

its the town in the link

bisaccia

for $1

southern italy

Bisaccia

i didnt know southern italy has snow like this

campagnia

a great yardstick for insulators is that in general, gasses insulate better then liquids which insulate better then solids

they probably only give it to poor italian families

you cant just go there as an amerimutt or snownword

idk, a lot of times they want someone stable

high insulating windows due so vis a vi gas injected between the glass panes

glass is a cold insulator though, meaning its cold to the touch, less comfort

wood is a hot insulator, more comfort

brick is great too

@>Cytos, de lieve goede synth

okej, so can you insulate a building with double walls
filled with carbondioxide?

the power of vacuum

afaik you'd need to be a citizen

one of the reasons wood is a good insulator is because dry wood contains air, kept stationary by the wood fibre after drying

and that takes like 9 years

_if_ you get it

lol

the idea of keeping walls filled with gas might work for insulation sure, but i bet the energy you put in to get that working is going to outweigh the benefits

i mean if there is any leak in the balloon you gotta refill constantly

eh most places they make exceptions if you make some investment in the local community or bring a business etc
