Using water as a construction material?

Asked by Jonathan_hodgkins (684points) November 7th, 2012

I need to design a sustainable house for a family of four in New England for my engineering design class. I was curious what the R value was of water. Would there be any benefit to building a wall out of glass / plastic that would be filled with water? wold it retain and insulate heat? Any other ideas about sustainable / green ideas?
