Mr. Tan reached out to Green Attic Insulation with the goal of enhancing the energy efficiency and comfort of his home. The project focused on removing old batt insulation, installing new cellulose high-performance insulation, and ensuring proper ventilation and air sealing.
Location: Naperville, IL 60563
The existing batt insulation in Tan's attic was old and no longer providing adequate thermal resistance. This was leading to energy loss and discomfort.
The team conducted comprehensive air sealing of the attic floor to eliminate air leaks, ensuring that the new insulation would perform optimally.
Air leaks were a major issue, reducing the effectiveness of the existing insulation and leading to energy waste.

The attic was not properly ventilated, causing heat buildup and reducing the lifespan of the insulation.
The installation of baffles and an attic solar fan addressed the ventilation issues, ensuring proper airflow and reducing heat buildup.
The cathedral ceilings and dormers in both bedrooms presented a challenge for insulation due to their shape and structure.
The team insulated these areas from the inside, ensuring they were well-sealed and insulated without compromising the room's aesthetics.
The project was completed successfully, resulting in significant improvements in Mr. Tan's home's energy efficiency and comfort.
