Attic insulation- an overview

• Attic Insulation is the type on construction process, done to maintain moderate climate inside the house regardless of climatic condition outside.

What is attic insulation???

• Attic insulation is done to maintain moderate climate indoor.

• Unwanted energy loss is reduced through insulation and so electric bill is saved.

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…

• To make the temperature warm inside some insulation technique like fiberglass, cellulose, glazing can be done

Insulation in hot area

• In case of hot climate, the heat will be more because of the penetration of indoor through the doors and windows

• Especially in through glass windows the heat penetration is double.

Preparation of house Preparation of house varies among types.

But the common points are: Remove all the hanging items from the wall Make a space for workers to place the items Remove all the heat sources from the place Tape all the electric plugs and switches. Do air sealing.

• It is must inspect the daily work of insulation process and don’t hesitate to post doubts on the workers if any.

• Insulation maintenance is tougher than implementation so care to maintain it for the long duration
