GBlist: Re: EEBA-L: foam board insulation and carpenter ants?



Carl - there are several other ways to increase insulation (or the
effectiveness of it) in houses. Without testing your house you also have no
idea of the cost-effectiveness of adding exterior insulation.

You might be better off air-sealing the attic or increasing attic insulation
or stopping that thermal by-pass above the kitchen or dense packing the
existing fiberglass in the sidewalls - who knows !!

You might try to get ahold of a local ACHPA member thru the web site below
or go directly to http://www.home-performance.org/achpa/achpa.htm.
