FAQ

Content: Insulating one room of your basement will cost roughly around $1,200-$1,800. Building Envelope and Thermal Bridge
A building envelope consists of all the outer shell elements that help to maintain a dry and heated/cooled indoor environment. It is what helps to facilitate climate control. The performance of a building envelope can be greatly affected by thermal bridging. Thermal bridging,also referred to as a heat bridge or a cold bridge, occurs in the building envelope when material components transfers heat throughout itself at a higher rate than the other components. This often occurs when there is less insulation, a break in the insulation, or the insulation is being penetrated. In cold climates, this can result in additional heat loss at these points. Thermal bridges can be avoided with a good structural composition as well as insulation of existing thermal bridges. This is extremely important for energy saving and also for the building’s lifespan. Energy Audit
For energy efficiency purposes, it is important to have an energy audit to determine where you home may be losing energy.
