如何计算Insulation Savings

learn.whatIsHeading

Home insulation reduces heat loss through walls, loft, and floor. Higher R-value = better insulation. Loft insulation typically offers the fastest payback — often under 2 years.

公式

R-value total = Sum of layer R-values | Heat loss = Area × ΔT / R-value | Annual cost = Daily cost × 365

分步指南

1Heat loss ∝ Area × U-value × ΔT (U = 1/R)
2Doubling R-value halves heat loss through that element
3Payback = Install cost / Annual energy saving
4UK ECO4 scheme may fund upgrades for eligible households

例题解析

输入

80m² loft, R-2 → R-6, 3,500 HDD, £0.07/kWh gas

结果

Annual saving ≈ £320; £600 install cost; payback ≈ 1.9 years
