It can be, but not always. you can also have a block home insulated well.

Some masons prefer one keeps the hallows of the block open, but there are different ways to insulate both types of homes.....so one cannot say one is always better insulated then the other.

If I were building a home today I would care more about the installation of windows and doors as it pertains to water penetration then weather it is frame or block.........done well, both are good....done shoddy, either could be a nightmare........
