If YETI can make a cup that keeps water cold or hot for hours and a cooler that holds ice for hours, then why aren’t we building houses with that same material?

Answer 1

It’s not necessarily about the material. The cutting edge production on home building can make super energy efficient houses. I follow a YouTuber that does just that.

The stuff that yeti uses isn’t a secret, it also isn’t a new concept, they are just really good at it. They are also very proud of it as reflected in their pricing.

The cost of building a really tight, really energy efficient home? Yeah….. That’s why you don’t see them everywhere.
