How insulation Saves Money- How Insulation Works-Typical-St Louis Brick Home used in Examples
Heating and cooling account for 50 to 70% of the energy used in the average American home. Inadequate insulation and air leakage are leading causes of energy waste in most homes. Insulation:
This fact sheet will help you to understand how insulation works, what different types of insulation are available, and how much insulation makes sense for your climate. There are many other things you can do to conserve energy in your home as well. The Department of Energy offers many web sites(http://ornl.gov/sci/roofs+walls/insulation/ins_07.html) to help you save energy by sealing air leaks, selecting more energy-efficient appliances, etc.

Why Insulate Your House?
- saves money and our nation's limited energy resources
- makes your house more comfortable by helping to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the house, and
- makes walls, ceilings, and floors warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
The amount of energy you conserve will depend on several factors: your local climate; the size, shape, and construction of your house; the living habits of your family; the type and efficiency of the heating and cooling systems; and the fuel you use.
Once the energy savings have paid for the installation cost, energy conserved is money saved -saving energy will be even more important as utility rates go up.

Part 4 in Weatherization Series
If you have the question:
I've designed this CAD Diagram to explain how hot and cold temperature seeps into a home with 2x4 walls with 0 (zero) insulation.
You can see by the blue areas how solid materials transfer the temperature.
Standard or Minimum Code Wall Framing consisting of
Siding on Exterior of Building
1/2 in Plywood or OSB Particle Board
2x4 Framing Member Wall Stud
1/2 in Drywall or Sheet Rock
The hot/cold temperature (Blue Areas in Diagram) on the Exterior of the Building is transferred to the Interior of the Building by Conduction The simplest explanation I can use to demonstrate and explain this is too use this example:
Now that your understand how Energy is transferred thru building materials I'll explain the various ways that Insulation:

Why is my house so Cold? Why are the walls so cold? Why are the outer rooms of my house so cold? Where are these cold air drafts coming from? Why is it costing me so much to heat my house? Why is my Heating Bill so high? How do I lower my heating bills? What are the recommended ways to lower my heating bills?

How to Stop Energy Loss or Gain in a Building
How to Prevent Heat Loss with 4 Examples-Diagrams-Drawings for your Building Projects
In recent conversations with customers and peers about Reducing Energy Loss in Buildings / Structures and how heat and cold are transferred into a Building via Conduction. I explained and made reference to using a Metal Cooking Utensil to stir a pot of chilli.
If the utensil is left in the pot of chilli for any length of time. The heat will eventually transfer heat up the utensil handle and will usually burn your hand or fingers.
Heat and Cold enter a Building in the same way; unless, there is some form of Insulation or Thermal Break to prevent the conduction of energy.
Cooking utensil manufactures solve this issue by adding handles made of Wood, Plastic, etc.
The Building and Remodeling Industry combats this energy loss/gain in various ways. Here a few examples, diagrams, and drawings that show how this loss or gain is minimized.
When this heat/cold gain and loss is minimized you will save money on your Heating and Cooling Bills.
By renovating and building using these examples and basic design principles you will save money and reduce Global Warming / Climate Change.
Example 1. Adding Insulation on the exterior of the Building normally behind the exterior wall finish. This is normally used in conjunction with Insulation in the Wall Cavities.
- Example 1 Top View
- Example 1 Adding Insulation on the Exterior of Wall Framing
Example 2 – Staggered Wall Studs
- Top View 2×4 Staggered Studs to Prevent Energy Loss and Gain
- 2×4 Staggered Studs Prevent Energy Loss and Gain
Example 3- Double Wall Construction
- 2×4 Double Wall Construction to Prevent Energy Loss and Gain
- 2×4 Double Wall Construction to Prevent Energy Loss and Gain
Example 4- Creating a Thermal Break by Adding Wall Channels
- Thermal Break created by Wall Channels to prevent energy loss
- Thermal Break created by adding Wall Channels to prevent energy loss and gain
The above illustrations are just a few examples of how to prevent Energy Loss in a Building by adding: Insulation, Providing a Thermal Break, and Creating Dead Air Space. Examples 1 and 4 are used mostly in Remodeling and Renovation Projects. With examples 2 and 3 are used mainly in new construction of Buildings. For detailed information, proven scientific facts, about how energy is transferred I suggest reading the Article at Wiki on Heat Transfer at:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer.
