The Science of Experience

When a home feels chilly or drafty, many homeowners address their attic insulation in an effort to make the space more comfortable. Sometimes, however, it's the insulation in the basement that's to blame. Using the wrong type of insulation in the basement or failing to insulate the basement at all can lead to a number of issues ranging from a chilly home to mold accumulation.

Nothing puts the damper on a pleasant winter day like a burst pipe - especially when everyone in the neighborhood is experiencing burst pipes, and your plumber is working overtime to solve the problem. Burst pipes can cause a remarkable amount of water damage and leave homes nearly uninhabitable. They're a lot easier to prevent than to deal with after-the-fact, and the secret to prevention is good insulation.

Building energy-efficient homes is becoming more and more important as energy costs continue to rise, and non-renewable resources are used up. There are many important considerations to keep in mind as you begin to offer sustainable designs. One of these is heat and moisture transfer rates. In well-insulated buildings, it is important that moisture and heat levels are kept in check. WUFI, a new computer-based model, allows you to simulate heat and moisture transfer rates of buildings.
