Insulation in Hot, Humid Climates
Interesting Developments Posted by I. Valdes on Wednesday April 27, @01:28PM
from the insulation dept.
Ever notice how This Old House and many publications are geared toward the Northeast? Well, here is an excellent PDF presentation by Building Science corporation on insulating in hot/humid climates like the South: '...Too much ventilation may even cause damage by cooling off the top of the insulation. We have taken cases where excess ventilation will cool the top surface of the insulating material…So too much ventilation may be dangerous just as well as too little...' They also have Joe's Top Ten List of dumb things to do in the South for buildings.
