Making Log Cabins Energy Efficient

Building a log cabin/home is expensive enough for your client, so why not help them cut their future costs for running their new rustic home. Energy.Gov has an article with a list of things to consider while building your clients log home to help make it more energy efficient.

The list includes types of wood to help decrease air leakage and controlling moisture in the wood that you will use when building the log home.

The article could help you come up with ways to help save your client energy expenses, later down the road in their ownership of that beautiful home you built for them.

Another article to look at is from Log Association which looks at the thermal properties of log homes.
Both articles discuss the best types of wood to use and their R-value when used for building. It's something you should discuss with your client and have them consider.
