A well-insulated home is healthier and more comfortable, because it’s drier and warmer. A cold, damp home can encourage the growth of mould and mildew. That can lead to health problems like asthma, bronchitis and recurring colds and flu.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends the ideal minimum temperature for a home is 18ºC. Without effective insulation, that’s difficult and expensive to achieve and almost impossible to maintain. World-first research by the Wellington School of Medicine in 2003 showed a remarkable improvement for health, reduced hospital admissions and reduced days off work and school where insulation had been upgraded.
For businesses, an energy-efficient workplace is healthier for staff - and a lot more welcoming for customers.
Unfortunately, many people are unaware that older insulation products have not stood the test of time. Check your ceiling insulation – if it is thin (75mm or less) or uneven and patchy, it's not doing its job. Use Free Energy Options to learn about an insulation upgrade. It's the single most significant thing you can do to improve energy-efficiency, comfort and health.
