Answer / guest
Need some insulation in the shell of your home to be
comfortable in that climate, and rocks and soil will not
provide that. It is possible to make a double wall with
stones, so that insulation can be created in the hollow
space, but this is a lot of work. Also, earthen materials
can be insulated (ideally on the outside) with synthetic
insulation, and then plastered. More natural insulation
materials that you might find are: strawbales, rice hulls
(placed in earthbags), crushed volcanic rock (placed in
earthbags). Most likely some sort of hybrid structure
utilizing a variety of materials will work best .

Why did the wall of Romanesque Churches have to be so thick?
I am building a house in Iowa by the strict requirements and dimensionality of Sthapatya-ved. As you probably know, these dimensions are specific to certain harmonic structures generated by the architectural style and my astologic chart. The outer walls will be approximately 10.5 inches thick. I would like to use some sort of straw/clay mixture, but I also live in a very cold climate. It is not unusual to have -10 degree temperatures for several weeks on end. I have friends who built with rammed earth and their environment is miserable during winter, always fighting the fly-wheeling of energy in the earth structure. Can you shed any light on the true insulation value of a straw clay mixture in this climate.
