How Much Insulation Is Good Enough for Your Building ?

It is fact that the adding insulation reduces the heat gain. However, there is a increment in the cost to do so. But the cost of amount of energy that can be saved by adding insulation is comparatively higher than the cost of insulation. Therefore, addition of insulation is much more beneficial in many aspects.

In order to calculate the overall cost saving we need to measure the amount of energy and compare that with cost of the insulation that has been provided to to the building materials.

For calculating amount of energy saving with use of different type of insulation, energy simulation of an building envelope is done by us in eQuest and the graph is plotted between type of insulation with different thickness and energy consumption.
