Utilize a Cool Roof. On a bright and sunny summer day, your roof can reach temperatures well above what a standard thermometer indicates. Upgrade the Insulation in Your Attic and Roof Deck. Install a Heat Recovery Ventilator in Your Attic.
Insulation reduces heat transfer through building materials such as masonry, plasterboard, glass, and metal by providing significant resistance to heat passage into or out of a structure. This reduces the requirement for heating and ventilation.
Approximately 40 per cent of your ventilation and heating energy can be lost without ceiling or roof insulation. In humid climates, insulating your veranda roof reduces heat, which impacts the area beneath it. Insulation may be beneficial if you are heating and cooling your veranda or garage.
Insulating your loft, attic, or flat roof reduces heat loss and heating costs. If installed properly, loft insulation should pay for itself many times over its expected 40-year lifespan.
