I've subscribed to Fine Homebuilding for years, but as a letter to the editor put it last year, they might as well change the name to "Fine Insulating." I think energy efficient homes are great, but most home improvement is remodeling and there's only so much we can do.
You might also try the Journal of Light Construction. They have a great magazine that is not cheap, and also forums at forums.jlconline.com. Some of their forum moderators are people who quite literally wrote the book on that subject.
