Scientists invent the perfect insulator, with this insulator, the body heat produced by one person would be enough to warm an entire home
Knowing how to reduce heating costs improves energy efficiency, energy costs, and makes your wallet fatter. Simple tips can yield big savings.
One of the easiest ways to reduce heating bills and costs is to lower the thermostat 1-2 degrees in winter, and raise it by 1-2 degrees in summer.
Now the good news to save money on your monthly energy bill, comes from scientists at MIT. Read more [link to virtualblog.splinder.com]

Interesting, this process consumes less energy than it would take to heat the house directly.

Interesting that the house doesn't care if its cold or hot. Of course water lines might freeze and refrigerator and freezer could defrost and get too hot. Thats workable to control with passive devices.
But the real problem is the human. It wants to dress like summer in the tropics all the time for comfort and mobility.
So the super thin flexible insulation for the human is the main object of creature comfort.
Making an insulator by means of sound is wild in your gonna use it to cover a human body. ha ha ha Likely that aint gonna happen.
But they might make some wall cover of some sort. I guess the cost of homes is gonna go up a bit again.

I built my house out of these polysterene block forms (ICF) that fill with concrete; 4" of the poly block insulation 2 in 2 out and 4" concrete. It's 50R insulated and airtight. Then spray 6" Icynene in the metal roof.

Straw-bale Construction super insulates a place with a renewable resource.

40 to 45 R value depending on how you stack it. Taking a conventional 3' x 2' x 18" bale of straw (not hay, hay has seed) one stacks and pins them together with rebar driven through. If you go for 18" thick walls, you get an R value of around 40 - taking the 2' depth you get an R value of around 45.

Straw-bale construction is popping up all over, many places are either looking at it as an alternative to conventional stick frame and glass fiber or have already passed codes for it.

BTW the Perfect insulator is going to be chemical, its most likely going to present us with disposal issues, most likely will end up costing us far much more than say glass fiber.

I built my own house. And made it like most homes with 2 by six framing and regular insulation. But on the outside layer of the house I added 1 inch foam insulation sheets. And I live in montana. And the house is extremely efficient. I start up the woods stove let it burn out and that heats the house for 24 hours. The other important thing that I've learned. I have 6 inch deep cement floors that warm up and that I bleive is why the house can stay 70 degrees warm for 24 hours. And in the summer the cement cools down and keeps the house cool.

That would work.. if your house was completely airtight. Then again how would you deal with the CO2 buildup?

If it's a "perfect insulator", then no heat will pass through it. If you surround your house with perfect insulators and go inside, your body heat will heat it up until you ROAST TO DEATH because heat can't escape. Think about it.

If you give anyone the money from the hype, then perhaps maybe someday it will be created.

Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of "emergency". It was the tactic of Lenin, Hitler, and Mussolini. In the collectivist sweep over a dozen minor countries of Europe, it was the cry of men striving to get on horseback. And "emergency" became the justification of the subsequent steps. This technique of creating emergency is the greatest achievement that demagoguery attains. — Herbert Hoover.

Belch!
