|
|
|
• Energy Costs are going through the roof. |
|
• Heating and Cooling account for 50-70% of the energy used in |
|
the average American Home. |
|
• Insufficient insulation, whole house attic fan, and poorly exhausted
bath allow |
|
for heat loss through the attic, and account for higher energy costs in the winter. |
|
• Infiltration of heat from attic into homes in the summer result
in higher |
|
energy bills and uncomfortable
living spaces. |
|
• The lack of intake and exhaust vents can trap heat and moisture
in the attic |
|
causing premature
aging of the roof and possible mold growth. |
|
• Installation of R-49 insulation could see a 32% lower utility
bill. |
