Here are some facts about insulation that I found very helpful and beneficial, I hope you find them helpful as you evaluate your properties. The purpose of insulation is to slow the rate of heat transfer. This is true in both hot and cold climates. In cold climates, we are trying to stop the flow of heat out of the building. In hot climates, we are trying to slow the movement of heat into the building.
Fortunately, insulation works in both directions.
I should emphasize again that insulation only slows the movement of heat. It does not stop it altogether. We should also remind ourselves that it really isn't the insulation material that stops most of the heat. The trapped air pockets within the insulation do most of the work. The solid material of the insulation does reduced direct radiation. Conduction and convection are controlled by the still air. I hope this helps you as you look at the insulation in the attics and walls of your future properties.
HAPPY REHABBING!!!
