Step 3: What Is The Recommended R Value?
• Once you have determined your Total R-Value (Material X Inches) Look at the recommended Energy Star R-Values for your Area.
• Insulation is trying to control a room temperature by heating and/or cooling
• In colder regions temperatures sway much further away from room temperature. Extreme hot areas also have this challenge with A/C
• Example: A climate that goes below Zero degrees frequently during the winter has to make up 65-75 degrees variance than a hot climate that is over 100 degrees, which needs to make up a 30-40 degree variance
