Hello everyone, I finally want to build on my plot and have shortlisted four homebuilders – but I’m struggling to decide because each has their own philosophy about the ideal wall construction.

Poroton brick, insulation, plaster, plus triple glazing
----------------------------------------------------------------
Probably a classic nowadays. The house is completely airtight. The walls cannot “breathe,” so moisture from inside the house cannot escape. A ventilation system is therefore mandatory.

Brick, mineral wool, air gap, brick facade, plus triple glazing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Walls are somewhat more “breathable,” but the companies still recommend a ventilation system.

36.5 cm (14.4 inches) Wienerberger thermal brick, plaster, no additional insulation, plus double glazing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The “Mercedes” among bricks, no additional insulation needed, walls can breathe, triple glazing is not necessary.

So, which company is actually right and offers the perfect wall?

I have removed the names of the providers because otherwise I would have had to move the post into the moderated forum.

In the end, even the best stone is useless because the human being is the source of error in the system, and all energetic considerations are overturned simply by breathing and just being.
