Simulation In A House

Satisfactory Essays

We decided to use cotton batting as our insulation. We used cotton batting because with insulation it slows the transfer of thermal energy, either coming in or going out of the house. In today’s houses, those with no insulation can lose up to 60 percent of their energy. This happens because the fiberglass, mineral wool, plastic fibers, and natural fibers found within today’s houses are packed so that when the heat tries to transfer it slows down because it has to go through those minerals first.
