Yes, a team at Stanford University led by Micheal Lepech issued a report on 9 June 2010 on this subject. The report compared building a composite material Glass Polypro (Twintex) home verses building a concrete masonry home. The home manufactured from Glass Polypro needed less energy to produce. It is also noted in this report that the Glass Polypro home had numerous other advantages including: less green house gas emissions, less CFC emissions (Ozone depletion), less sulfur dioxide emissions (acidification).
