Roof replacements: The impact on energy and carbon emissions
Retrofitting building components with high-performance insulation to maintain stable thermal temperatures can increase the energy efficiency of a building. Going one step further, roof replacements are one of the most common and effective envelope retrofits for existing buildings due to the relative size of the building component.
Influence of gaps on roof insulation performance
Experiments conducted by RDH Building Science, National Research Council Canada (NRC), and a manufacturer of insulation materials have confirmed the presence of gaps between boards of insulation will cause a reduction in its R-value.
