Efficient Home Insulation
In Canada, inadequate insulation in homes leads to excessive energy use, higher expenditures, and a huge carbon impact. Ineffective insulation lets cold air penetrate and heat escape, making Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems work harder and use more energy to keep a comfortable temperature. This presents a challenge during the long, cold Canadian winters when home heating accounts for a significant portion of energy use and carbon emissions. Older or improperly placed insulation materials, such as fibreglass and mineral wool, may lose their insulating capacity due to exposure to moisture or poor installation, raising homeowners’ energy bills. ...
