Key Point Whole Building Energy
• Approaches
Key Point – Whole Building Energy
• Efficient details, thin insulation
• Thick insulation, poor details
• At low effective R-values, increases = big energy savings
• High effective R-value = thermally efficient details and some insulation insulation.

Closing Remarks
• Shift from nominal R-value thinking to effective R-value
• Move beyond simply adding “more insulation”. Examine cost effectiveness
f i l ti th b ildi of insulating the building envelope through better details
• Look to building envelope to provide opportunity to achieve energy gains
• Be prepared to modify details and evaluate new products
