Project Overview
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
Challenge 1:
Old, Ineffective Insulation
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.
Solution
The team conducted comprehensive air sealing of the attic floor to eliminate air leaks, ensuring that the new insulation would perform optimally.
Challenge 2:
Air Leaks
Air leaks were a major issue, reducing the effectiveness of the existing insulation and leading to energy waste.
Solution
The team conducted comprehensive air sealing of the attic floor to eliminate air leaks, ensuring that the new insulation would perform optimally.
Challenge 3:
Poor Ventilation
The attic was not properly ventilated, causing heat buildup and reducing the lifespan of the insulation.
Solution
The installation of baffles and an attic solar fan addressed the ventilation issues, ensuring proper airflow and reducing heat buildup.
Challenge 4:
Insulating Cathedral Ceilings and Dormers
The cathedral ceilings and dormers in both bedrooms presented a challenge for insulation due to their shape and structure.
Solution
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.
- Enhanced Energy Efficiency: The new R-60 insulation and air sealing measures have drastically reduced energy loss, leading to lower utility bills.
- Improved Comfort: The home is now more comfortable year-round, with fewer drafts and more consistent indoor temperatures.
- Better Ventilation: The attic solar fan and baffles ensure proper ventilation, reducing heat buildup and prolonging the life of the insulation.
- Increased Home Value: The improvements have not only made the home more comfortable and efficient but also increased its overall value.
