INSULATION
In a remodel of a home or construction of a new home. Your insulation
requirements are taken care for you by an architect or the rules
and calculations he or she must submit thru what is called a certificate
of compliance that lists the building features and performance specifications
needed to comply with Title- 24 of the California Code of Regulations.
This is one of the requirements needed to submit plans for a city
or county building permit.
Older homes, built in the
days of low-cost energy usually lack the proper insulation needed
to keep heat in the house. Or in the summer time keep heat out of
the house. The three types of insulation most commonly used are
fiberglass batts, cellulose-blown in type and rigid foam type. These
are all good types of insulation and each one has it's place.
