A non-existent internal wall would not involve any of these.

So, an open-plan building with no internal walls, is the least economic. QED.

Edit: Keynes famously said that building pyramids would stimulate the economy by keeping everyone earning and spending. A pyramid has no internal walls as such, it's solid masonry all the way through except maybe a few tomb chambers and a high thermal mass. So a building with no internal walls is simultaneously the most and the least economic.]]> Least economic internal wall construction http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17163&Focus=291200#Comment_291200 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17163&Focus=291200#Comment_291200 Fri, 20 Aug 2021 14:33:38 +0100 Mike1 Least economic internal wall construction http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17163&Focus=291205#Comment_291205 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17163&Focus=291205#Comment_291205 Fri, 20 Aug 2021 15:24:50 +0100 tony Least economic internal wall construction http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17163&Focus=291208#Comment_291208 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17163&Focus=291208#Comment_291208 Fri, 20 Aug 2021 15:43:25 +0100 owlman Least economic internal wall construction http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17163&Focus=291210#Comment_291210 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17163&Focus=291210#Comment_291210 Fri, 20 Aug 2021 16:03:48 +0100 djh Least economic internal wall construction http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17163&Focus=291211#Comment_291211 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17163&Focus=291211#Comment_291211 Fri, 20 Aug 2021 16:23:33 +0100 tony

Also possible that they may use the ICF only as temporary formwork, and strip the insulation from it later to reduce the thickness.]]> Least economic internal wall construction http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17163&Focus=291246#Comment_291246 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17163&Focus=291246#Comment_291246 Sun, 22 Aug 2021 17:54:05 +0100 tony
