My thought is concrete-stucco home construction would be considerably cheaper on the AC bill ?
Is this correct ?
Thank you;

I live in a 1200 square foot courtyard villa, eleven years old, stud walls covered with insulation. I have a high-efficiency heat pump. I keep the AC or heat on 24/7 (73° in the summer and 71° in the winter) and rarely open a door. There is no attic fan or vent except at the eaves. I recharge my car in the garage. My SECO bill runs about $60 to $80 a month. I assume my house has 6” of fiberglass in the walls, but it might be four. Do block walls have that much?
