The Department of Energy estimates that heating and cooling alone account for 50 to 70% of energy usage.  Rooms that are slow to cool in the summer and slow to heat in the winter most likely have inadequate insulation.

Hot Attics Waste Energy

Heated air flows from warmer areas into cooler ones, until there is no longer a temperature difference.  Insulation will slow down the rate at which the heat from the attic will flow into the living areas in your home.  The insulation also reduces heat buildup in the attic.  Radiant barriers can also help with reducing heat gain.

 

 

Proper Insulation Slows Energy Loss

Whenever there is a temperature difference, the heat will move towards cooler areas.  Properly insulating your house serves a buffer between the hot air and the cooler air in the living areas

 

What is R-Value & How Much Should You Have?

Insulations’ resistance to heat flow is rated in terms of its thermal resistance (R-Value).  The higher the R-Value, the better the thermal resistance.  Factors that affect the R-Value are material, thickness, and density.  You can increase your home’s R-value by adding insulation.  The amount of insulation/R-Value that a home needs is dependent on the climate.
