Insulation has been the bread and butter of residential energy efficiency for decades, so why are 9 out of 10 homes in the U.S. under-insulated, according to the U.S. Energy Star program? Insulation commonly is known to not only save money and improve comfort, but also improve indoor air quality and health when combined with air sealing and proper ventilation, and even reduce carbon dioxide emissions – yet at current retrofit rates increasing the insulation of all U.S. homes would take at least 90 years, according to DOE’s National Blueprint for the Buildings Sector.
