WHY INSULATE ?

Insulation is necessary to reduce energy consumption, sound pollution and improve the comfort

and quality of life in new or existing buildings regardless of the construction system.

Environmental qualityInsulation fights global warming as it reduces greenhouse gases.

Insulating your home is an ecological process. The signing of the Kyoto agreements was

a major stage in collective awareness of the need to protect the environment by fighting

global warming.

Energy efficiency in buildings

Buildings account for 40% of energy consumption in most countries, yet their potential for

energy efficiency is huge. By using adapted insulation and energy savings techniques,

up to 80% of a building’s energy consumption for heating or cooling can be saved.

A strategy for improvedenergy efficiencyof existing buildings is a necessity if the energy

consumption is to be reduced significantly over a limited period of time. The life time of buildings

ranges from 50 to 100 years and improvement of the existing building stock will thus have much

higher impact than the tightening of requirements for new buildings.
“A building has a long life cycle, so its effect on the environment is a long and continuing issue to consider.”

Reducing energy consumption in buildings through their better thermal insulation

In a building that is insufficiently or not insulated, heat flows through the roof or the façades

thus leading to increased energy needs for heating (in winter) or for cooling (in summer).

80% of the energy bill of a home owner is due to heating costs, therefore reducing energy

needs must be a priority without sacrificing comfort. In order for everybody to achieve this goal,

Saint-Gobain Isover proposes insulants to consumers with the best efficiency to

invested money ratio.Insulation = savings

WHERE TO INSULATE?

To obtain a thermally homogenous home and reduce heat losses properly, provide comfort in

winter and summer, all surfaces in contact with the outside (roof, wall, loft) must be insulated.

All walls and the roof in particular must be insulated

The thermal performance of insulation must be very high in the roof. In winter and summer,

strong thermal resistance in the loft is essential.
In winter, losses are at their maximum through all opaque and glazed surfaces and structural links.

In the summer, direct sunlight on the walls and roofs - particularly exposed - can overheat the interior temperature. The same goes for windows which need outside shutters,

blinds, awnings, etc to deflect direct sunlight from the house.
