@nprofile1q... it actually starts with cutting the trees. cut them in winter and only cut them after fullmoon, stop harvesting them on newmoon!
with this simple rule, the logs will be lighter, more resistant against insects and have an amazing insulation value.
only use natural sourced materials, everything needs to breath, as you do too. forget what they tell you about all this so called hi-tec material!
depending on your location/climate, check how if you find very all buildings + study them!
