Wood is one of nature's best insulators.
Jim Barna Log Systems are designed for tightness and lasting integrity. If you use adequate roof and floor insulation, high quality windows and doors, and make sure all joints are sealed properly, your Jim Barna log home will use little energy to stay comfortable all year. The R-Value is a measurement of efficiency of an insulated wall. A solid log wall is measured in Thermal Mass, not R-Values. Studies have been completed on the differences of a standard insulated wall and a solid log wall, and the findings indicate that the solid log wall is superior based on average cost from cooling and heating on a year long basis.
