sheetrock does absorb water as does furniture etc. I know because when I lived
in the Coachella valley (Indio - Palm Springs) I used evaporative cooling until
humid air moved north from the gulf. For the next couple of days the ac
condensate line ran water as the house dried out and the ac didnt pull down
fast. Then once dried ran normally.

Hi Mike & all,
i had a quick look at the Website of enertia,there are some very good aspects
in their aproach,but i think this is a kind of overkill!
We talking here of basically two Housshells wich are probably very costly and
not ment for everybodys means!
A significant aspect of full Woodhouses is not even mentionned in this
website<
the ability of wood to even out differences of humidity and therefore act as
a catalizer.
Everone owns a Loghome would be able to tell that the Klimate in a Loghome is
much more natural and better than in conventional built studdwallstructure with
all kind of windbarriers and vaporbarriers!
The only disadventage,Loghomes are very labourintensive and therefore
expensive.
I am working since a while on a constructionmethod with double Woodwalls
insulated with natural fiber insulation,not using vaporbarriers at all,so the
whole wall is considered as a full Logwall.
This method is costefficient, easy to assemble for homebuyers and
ecological,since the protection of the wood is mainly to constructiv means!
My Modelhome should be up by the end of this summer!
Fritz
