  7. Conclusion • Steel studs pull heat away from the exterior concrete wall. The heat conducts along the stud and through to the interior wall of the building. • EcoStuds are considerably less conductive and minimize the heat that is transferred from the exterior environment into the building. This results in less energy requirements to maintain a comfortable air temperature within the building. FOUO UNCLASSIFIED
