I watched the video and I think he mentioned Rock Wool for insulation in there which many are using in Europe. It is available in the US, but I think it&#39;s mainly used in commercial applications.<br /><br />Also, in regards to electrical, why not run your outlets in the floors and use wireless switches for the walls? No need to run electric in exterior walls at all...Chad Ludemanhttp://www.postgreenhomes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363189.post-89758169106234497662009-04-30T17:05:54.393-04:002009-04-30T17:05:54.393-04:00One thing that Scott and I have seen making inroads in the USA are these plug together (no junction box) electrical connectors. This is key to being able to prewire these completed wall panels and connect them up quickly in the field during the set. The last thing you want is two trades dicing around when you are trying to drop panels and run.lavarderahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07241073948874188058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363189.post-7095433483649611242009-04-30T16:38:07.861-04:002009-04-30T16:38:07.861-04:00Looks promising to me, yet there are quite a few barriers that need to be overcome (and we are, albeit slowly) for this system to work.<br /><br />The factory panel is something most builders haven't dealt with, but these shouldn't be problematic to set and manage. The typical framed and skinned wall on a McMansion isn't any easier to erect, in my estimation.<br /><br />The construction, as you state, is remarkably similar to our own, and field modifications wouldn't be substantially different in technique, should they arise.<br /><br />I'm thinking about some of the other obstacles that might come into play, here, such as industry inertia and the tooling costs associated with ramping up this type of production. These may just be perceptions by those involved, but let's face it, perceptions drive lots of stuff in this world.<br /><br />I've really been enjoying your series of Swedish residential construction over that last, what, year?
