Health Benefits of Better Insulation
Health Benefits of Better Insulation
Insulation enhances indoor comfort by regulating temperatures throughout the year, eliminating cold spots and hot areas, and lowering energy bills. Its other benefits include reducing condensation, mold growth and enhancing air quality by blocking pollutants from entering the home. In addition, it acts as a sound barrier to create a quieter living space.
The type of Crawl space insulation chosen and its installation determines its effectiveness. While thickness plays a role, other factors such as the R-value, airtight seals and ventilation are also important. It’s also important to note that a newer, high-quality and properly installed insulation will perform better than older and lower-quality insulation materials.
Many studies on the impact of insulation on respiratory health and general well-being have shown a positive effect. However, these results are based on a small number of studies and are subject to limitations. For example, a cluster randomized trial from Greenland found that the presence of external insulation was associated with reduced odds of medical attendance for acute otitis media, whereas a controlled trial from the United Kingdom did not find a significant effect on overall respiratory symptoms, asthma, self-reported wheezing and morning phlegm in adults (Bray 2017, Breysse 2015, Grey 2017).
