Compressed Earth Blocks have a 12-hour thermal lag. Minimal insulation can cause unique issues like relying on passive solar heating. One idea presented by Lisa Morey from @coloradoearth is to overcome this challenge is implementing a 6/3/6 ratio having a 3" insulation layer as a buffer.
Does anyone have an example they'd like to share of this detail?

The snowy views through these Advantage Architectural Woodwork windows are spectacular, and they are performing incredibly in the cold Crested Butte, CO conditions. We can't wait for the new owners to experience this cozy space for themselves.

Many homeowners don't even realize how noisy their home is until they've upgraded to high-performance windows. No matter if you are looking for a little quiet meditation time, desiring a productive home office, or want to simply hear the tv at normal levels, windows are a great place to start.
"The windows look great, and wow, it is nice to not have cold air coming through our living room, not to mention how quiet it is. I am so happy with the design and final product." Trisha
Sound Transmission Class (STC): Alpen's standard Zenith Series ZR-9, ZR-7, ZR-6, and ZR-5 fiberglass windows are tested and certified to STC-30 - a full 66% improvement over single-pane windows, and 20% over most dual-pane products. @alpenHPP

SIGA products were created to withstand freezing temperatures and be installed all year round (as low as 14 F/-10 C). This step in the construction phase will not cause delays during colder months like on a day like today.
