The only "solar bricks" I can find are solar lights used in place of a few pavers for walkways. So, what is the global warming footprint of converting all housing in England to 2 x 6" sandstone with 4" foam insulation? Just for the elite, I suppose?]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://junkscience.com/2013/06/warmist-amory-lovins-fight-global-warming-by-making-houses-with-solar-bricks/#comment-25499">Kelly Morris</a>.</p> <p>The only “solar bricks” I can find are solar lights used in place of a few pavers for walkways.<br /> So, what is the global warming footprint of converting all housing in England to 2 x 6″ sandstone with 4″ foam insulation?

I originally was curious about the so called "solar bricks", but searches didn't bring up anything even close to that description. Turns out Lovins used local sandstone to create two 6" stone walls, sandwiching foam insulation 4" thick. Nothing even close to solar bricks, just heavily insulated walls. Lovins admits the new refit / remodel is not cost effective, and is more of an experiment in what could be done, but cost effectiveness has to be a main consideration in the feasibility of any energy saving experiment.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the articles I checked out, Lovins home was inordinately expensive when originally built, and only 25 years later is being totally redone at a cost “Well in excess of $150,000”.<br /> I take this to mean it probably cost around $250K to $300K.<br /> A great deal of the financing was supplied by supporters and businesses eager to be connected to Lovins and his green project.<br /> I originally was curious about the so called “solar bricks”, but searches didn’t bring up anything even close to that description.<br /> Turns out Lovins used local sandstone to create two 6″ stone walls, sandwiching foam insulation 4″ thick.<br /> Nothing even close to solar bricks, just heavily insulated walls.<br /> Lovins admits the new refit / remodel is not cost effective, and is more of an experiment in what could be done, but cost effectiveness has to be a main consideration in the feasibility of any energy saving experiment.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title> By: Petrossa </title> <link>https://junkscience.com/2013/06/warmist-amory-lovins-fight-global-warming-by-making-houses-with-solar-bricks/#comment-25498</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Petrossa]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 16 Jun 2013 07:05:30 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://junkscience.com/?p=41376#comment-25498</guid> <description><![CDATA[Great idea, especially in England where the sun shines 24/7.
