According to Department of Energy, 90% of the houses that are ten years old and older are under-insulated. Under-insulation causes loss of energy, increased use of energy, and releases excess carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Up to 40% of heat loss occurs in the attic that is properly insulated. The Department of Energy recommends a Resistance Factor, also called R-Factor of 49 in the attic. This equates to about 18 inches of fiberglass insulation. Mouse houses ten years old and older hvae between four and six inches in the attic.
The higher the R-Factor, the less heat is transferred through the roof via the attic. The less heat is transferred through the roof via the attic. The less heat that is transferred, the less energy is used to heat and cool your house and the less carbon emissions are released into the atmosphere.
