I agree with Karen. I have another thought though: could this be an insulating concrete form wall (ICF) wall?

That is the answer i was expecting to here. thanks for your input<div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 12:27 PM, Bruce Easterbrook <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bruce5@bellnet.ca" target="_blank">bruce5@bellnet.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Poured</font> concrete has an R-value around 0.08/inch. When
"effective" is used commercially it normally is a hocus pocus addition
for the mass effect but shouldn't be much more than 10%. eQuest would
calculate it as a lag effect based on the mass, so a steady state value
would be most appropriate.<br>
