Insulation, good construction practices, effective use of vegetation/trees, and passive solar heating should all be used to promote sustainable energy practices and all will be justified on the basis of cost effectiveness.
There are a large number of failure mechanisms as a result of the variety of insulation materials, design practices and operating environments.
In engineering practice, insulation materials would be deployed as the enclosure of an SOFC stack to reduce the heat loss to the environment.
On a per unit basis, the savings are greatest in the Midwest and lowest in the West, related to climate and current practice insulation levels.
We gathered current practice insulation levels (in ceiling, wall, and floor) from an earlier energy analysis [ 13], which assumed existing home insulation levels to be uniform within census divisions (Table 1).
Across all fuel types, the annual per unit energy savings for retrofitting existing homes are approximately four times greater than the per unit energy savings associated with increasing insulation from current practice levels in new homes to IECC 2000 code levels [ 7], a finding that agrees with other analyses [ 13].
We determined that increasing insulation from current practice to the latest International Energy Conservation Code (IECC 2000) levels for all single-family homes built from 2001 to 2010 would save 300 TBTU (3 × 1014 British Thermal Units) during the ten-year period (5 TBTU for the annual housing output per year).
With respect to dampness a wide range of actions is mentioned: indoor ventilation, water leak repairs, insulation, better heating, implementing best practices, better standardized detection, prohibiting risk activities indoor and outdoor, awareness raising and testing buildings for extreme weather conditions.
Still, ExxonMobil and its peers eagerly seek out such oversights, partly because they offer insulation from prosecution under the Corrupt Practices law.
Moreover, in many countries construction practices tend to implement only partially the insulation measures foreseen by regulations.
