Why insulate house??

Home inspection

Home inspection• Initially, home will be inspected by the

energy inspectors and find the source of energy loss through R-value and give design ideas to reduce the loss.

R-value??• R-value is the parameter used in buildings which is

the measure of temperature resistance.• It is defined as the ratio of difference between the

temperature to the heat transfer capacity.• The formula is given below

Insulation types• Insulation types depends on the climatic

condition as said before.• Whether it is extreme cold or extreme hot

insulation is performed.• But the method varies.

Insulation in cold area

• During cold temperature most of the heat including body heat will be let out through walls, roofs, etc…
