Since air is such a good insulator, then why wouldn't it make sense to disregard the use of any kind of foam that is conventionally used inside of SIPs and instead just have a giant air gap between two completely separate steel envelopes?
What I'm describing is, for example, a 40' x 40' building placed inside of a 50' x 50' building.
I chose a steel building as an example only because they seem to be the absolute least expensive rigid structures that are available.
Building two buildings is not cost effective
