Insulation at our LEED house in Houston is already keeping the heat out
With the wiring and plumbing finished, we did insulation at the end of this past week, and had a chance to check on the house today. Not only does it look like yummy icing, sprayed into all the outside wall spaces, but it is already doing a great job. We were in the house with an outside temperature of 94°F, and of course no A/C and it was actually fairly bearable. Granted, there was a breeze through the front and back doors, but the windows were shut and the shutters about 1/2 down on the North and South facing sides. It was, I would say, about the same as our front room used to be at the end of a hot summer day, back in the old house with the A/C running the whole day. I remember those $500 electricity bills!! Can't wait to see the bills we'll have in the new house!
