R-value measures thermal resistance of insulation. Higher R-values reduce heat transfer; proper insulation is critical for energy efficiency.

공식

Heat flow = ΔT / R_total (sum all resistances including air films)

단계별 가이드

  1. 1R-value = thickness / thermal conductivity
  2. 2Heat flow = ΔT / R_total (sum all resistances including air films)
  3. 3Recommended: R-30 attic, R-19 walls, R-10 basement walls (varies by climate)

풀어진 예시

입력
Attic insulation R-19 (insufficient for cold climate)
결과
Upgrade to R-50 could reduce heating 25-30%
Major savings potential

피해야 할 일반적인 실수

  • Only insulating attic (walls and basement important too)
  • Neglecting air sealing (more important than insulation alone)

자주 묻는 질문

Does more insulation always save money?

Initially yes, but with diminishing returns. R-60 attic (vs. R-50) saves <5% extra for higher cost.

What's the best insulation material?

Fiberglass, cellulose, foam have similar R-values per thickness. Choose by cost, environmental impact, and application.
