The walls are on average 25% of heat loss in a house just behind the roof (30%) and excluding the window (13%), which should have comparable performance to those walls

The first criteria of choice of insulation are ecological renewable and recyclable raw materials, low embodied energy and C02 emissions in their manufacture, low impact on indoor air quality and health ... From this viewpoint, the insulators plants have a much better environmental performance evaluation as mineral wool insulation or from petroleum byproducts.
The performance of insulators are conventionally measured by the "lambda" or thermal conductivity (ability to transmit heat). During the warm season, where the walls should help to avoid overheating, we will focus on capacity or thermal insulating phase shift, which allows them to store heat for the return with a certain phase shift. Performance in terms of sound insulation are also taken into account. You will also choose the insulation is best for your site: possibilities for implementation, types of media, not to mention the price.

Exterior insulation?
You'll have to make another important choice: to isolate the inside or outside?
This last option has the advantage of ensuring continuity of insulation across the facade, which avoids most of the thermal bridges unresolved with inside insulation (floors, shear walls and ceilings). It also preserves the full benefits of the inertia of a massive wall in the case of a principal residence (to avoid a second home, which will take overly long to warm in the cold season).

The challenge is to find insulation resistance to external constraints and capable of ensuring the stability of a coating to find a traditional external appearance. Expanded cork plates are ideal for this purpose. We may also use plates or some fibragglos fibreboard timber capable of receiving a coating. To be continued...
