There are several steel studded houses
in my small town. For years I concluded
that the option to use them was
positive. Recently, I came across test
data strong enough to change my mind.
Sure, steel conducts heat more than
wood, but I thought that the fact they
were thinner canceled out that
disadvantage. Not so....... the thin
steel still couducts BTUs much more than
wood! See this official Canadian data
