That is probably true. I believe they are framing with 2x4s so with fiberglass batts they are probably getting something around R-11. The concrete houses use a insulating board - probably less than R-11.

If I turn the heat up to 70, it warms up to 70, I turn it off and it stays there until the next really cold snap. Never had moisture on windows. Running heat is much more expensive than running AC so I try to do it as little as possible
