Additional thermal insulation should by now be standard.
What "standard" is, I am not quite sure regarding Austria. That means especially I do not know which equivalent of the "Energy Saving Ordinance 2016" applies there or not.
now I have heard several times that bricks are also very good for the indoor climate because they conduct moisture very well.
Putting aside the naive image of bricks (handmade from free-range lumps of clay by happy cows), they are no longer the only real organic wholegrain bread. The differences between masonry materials are less dramatic than their respective proponents and detractors suggest. Apart from that, the plaster is just as relevant for the indoor climate as the masonry material.
Whether it is really "eco" to carve a house out of a solid tree trunk, I mark with a tree-high question mark :)
But do bricks then retain their good properties?
All the properties that a brick has, it can only directly (or via the plaster and the surrounding air) "transfer" – not to an insulation panel, and not through it. Any specific property practically gets stuck in the non-relation there.
I always have the impression that fresh air from outside must be better than air redirected multiple times through pipes.
Real air is always best "analog," I agree with that ;-)
