I typically pick the longest wall or the straightest line in the room that has the most exposure and start there with full tiles.

Does insulation save energy?
Technically, no. However, in this context, yes. It wouldn't actually save energy, but it can lower the amount if energy needed to do a task. For example, if you insulate your house well, you would not need to heat/cool is as aggressively because the hot/cold air would not pass through the walls to the outside air nearly as easily as a house that has no or poor insulation.
How do you insulate house walls that don't have cavities?
You can do one of two things. Firstly, you could erect a second wall outside the house. Of course there are many instances where this would not be feasible. In such cases, one would have to baton the walls from the interior to create a cavity, which would then be filled with some form of material with a high insulation rating i.e. fibreglass wool or rigid insulation boards. To provide further insulation, special plasterboard (drywall) can be purchased with higher insulation ratings than regular plasterboard. However, using these thicker boards would further encroach on the room in question, which might not be very desirable at all since the batons would already take a couple inches away. Alternatively use an External Wall Insulation system.
