How does SOLARBORD save money?
The savings are achieved through a combination of several related physical changes impacting the radiant energy in your home and the systems used to cool it. Essentially, the savings are achieved by reducing the amount of electricity consumed by your HVAC system to maintain the comfort level you desire. • A reduced attic air temperature results from lower amounts of radiant energy entering the attic space. • Lower attic air temperature and decreased levels of radiant energy lowers the surface temperature of the fiberglass insulation, which in turn reduces heat transfer through the ceiling into the living space. • Additionally, because the fiberglass absorbs less radiant heat, the house cools down quicker in the early evening. • Because of the effect of the first three items, less heat is transmitted by the interior ceiling, the occupants of the house absorb less radiant energy (heat), and feel a comparable degree of comfort at a higher thermostat setting. • And finally, for those homes
