Detailed Calculation Breakdown
Calculation Methodology
Heat Loss Rate (BTU/hr) = (Area sq ft * Heating Degree Delta) / R-Value. Annual Dollar Savings = Area * Heating Degree Days * 24 * (1/R_old - 1/R_new) * Fuel Price per BTU.
Important Legal & Educational Disclaimer
An uninsulated or poorly insulated attic accounts for up to 35% of total residential thermal loss and summer solar heat gain.
