U. S. how to stay warm in winter and cool in the summer

ENERGY EFFICIENT INSULATION

Staying warm in the winter, and staying cool in the summer is hard to do. That's because most of our homes weren't originally built with the high standard of energy conservation that today's homeowners are demanding. And, as a result, air leakage and infiltration have been the norm - until now. To keep the winter heat in, summer heat out, and monthly energy bills from going through the roof, we use one of the most energy efficient products on the market today, Cocoon™ insulation.

Made from recycled newspaper, Cocoon cellulose insulation is environmentally friendly, lightweight and easy to install. It is also non-abrasive, contains no fiberglass, formaldehyde or asbestos, and yet it is treated to be permanently fire retardant and insect resistant.

What's more amazing is the fact that Cocoon insulation is superior to conventional fiberglass insulation when it comes to both coverage and performance. Unlike fiberglass, Cocoon insulation fills in all kinds of nooks and crannies - a feature that dramatically reduces energy loss and results in savings for you. As such, it is simply smarter insulation. Incredible comfort and savings Cocoon insulation allows for more even temperatures from room to room, and adds comfort with its exceptional acoustic sound-deadening properties - absorbing outside noises like planes and street traffic, as well as inside sounds, like plumbing, TVs, radios and conversation.

As far as savings go, Cocoon insulation requires significantly less energy and money to keep your home comfortable. It also provides more insulation value per inch. You see, the effectiveness of insulation is measured in terms of thermal resistance called R-value, which indicates the resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value the greater the insulating power. So, to achieve and R-49 for example you would need 22.27 inches of loose fill fiberglass products, whereas with Cocoon insulation, only 13.24 inches are required.
