Bonfiglioli Wall. Headquarters Gruppo Bonfiglioli div. D&P Porcelain tiles and Kerlite By my calcs this would result in a "whole wall" R-value of around 23.8, or a U-value of 0.0419, which is well below the code max of 0.045. The wall could be insulated with R20 batts between the studs and r6 batts between the 2x2 "ladder rungs"

Use carefully detailed Intello Plus as an air barrier and moisture control layer The method is less expensive and easier to build than wall systems with similar R-values

The article detailed his method of using strips of high-density foam on the interior of studs to reduce thermal bridging and increase energy efficiency The method is less expensive and easier to build than wall systems with similar R-values Use carefully detailed Intello Plus as an air barrier and moisture control layer

Or the whole 7" depth could be filled with loose cellulose What I like about Mooney's (studs perpendicular to battens to reduce thermal bridging) design aspect is if you choose to put the air and vapor barrier between the studs and battens, and have 2 separate insulation cavities, you have yourself a 1.5 inch service cavity for utilities.
