Q = mct where q is the energy, m is the mass in kilograms, c is the specific heat in kelvins, and t is the change in temperature
The thicker the insulation, the more heat is kept in your home. This is because inside the insulation are tiny air bubbles, witch are not good conductors of heat. This means that the heat energy can not pass through it.
Generally, the heat in your house rises. This can mean that a lot of heat is lost through the roof. If you put insulation in your loft, the insulation is a poor conductor of heat so the heat stays below the loft and your loft is cold. Then less heat gets to the roof and so less heat is lost.
Insulation
An R1 would be like a window. R30 is about 12" of insulation. The insulation value applies to heat or cold.
It reduces the heat loss through the ceilings of the rooms below.
no
the insulation keeps the heat from escaping 25% of heat lost through your household so insulation is a good thing to get
R35 insulation allows LESS heat to pass through than R1 insulation.
Heat insulation reduces the rate of heat flow. Sound insulation reduces the amplitude of the sound energy transmitted through a cavity.

AIR INFILTRATION, INSULATION AND WINDOWS ARE THE LARGEST CULPRITS. LC

Insulation, such as fiberglass.
Insulation
Heat conduction is the process of transferring heat energy through direct collisions between particles.Heat insulation is when poor heat conductors (insulators) prevent heat to escape.your butt smells weird but heat is conducting it.
An R1 would be like a window. R30 is about 12" of insulation. The insulation value applies to heat or cold.
Heat travels through waves of insulation through metals and other materials. The only metals that heat does not travel through are aluminum and nickel.
