Home Insulation
We have thick, old, wooden doors and well-insulated wooden doors (combination storm/screen) at the entries. In the depth of bone-chilling winters, it helps hold the heat inside our homes. This means that the temperature of a well ventilated underfloor crawl space in high wind can be closer to that of the outside. To reduce radiant and convection heat loss, impose energy barriers between living spaces and the outside - i. Subtract the r-value of your current insulation from the recommended r-value to figure out how much insulation you need to add. If applied uniformly, blown fiber adds r-3 or more per inch of thickness, giving you up to r-12 in a conventional 2 xwall, or r-19 in a house framed with 6-wide studs.
