Posted : March 27, 2010 | Comments : 0 | Home Insulation - How and Why it Supports Energy Conservation
Home insulation can take many forms, but it basically works the same way - it captures air and holds it still so that it helps inhibit the natural transfer of thermal energy from high to low, the direction that heat always wants to go. The more air holds still, the less likely it is that heat will be transferred efficiently. Still air is often referred to as "dead air" because it isn't moving. Air that isn't moving has a difficult time transferring energy. Think of the radiator on your car. The fan behind the radiator moves air through it to help transfer heat from the engine to the air. If the fan were to stop, the transfer of energy would be greatly reduced, and the engine would overheat.
