1 Insulation and Air Barrier Questionnaire Let’s record all that you’ve learned about your insulation and air barrier in your home: Attic – What type of insulation do you have? What do you calculate the Rvalue at? Is there an air barrier and what does it look like? Walls – What type of insulation do you have? What do you calculate the Rvalue at? Is there an air barrier and what does it look like? Boxing – What type of insulation do you have? What do you calculate the Rvalue at? Is there an air barrier and what does it look like? Basement walls – What type of insulation do you have? What do you calculate the Rvalue at? Other insulation and air barrier systems you want to make note of? 1. Vaulted ceilings 2. Crawl spaces 3. Basement floor 4. Other Important Safety Note: Remember that if you have Vermiculite insulation – do not mess with it and do not have a blower door test done!

Insulation  and  Air  Barrier  Questionnaire  Let’s  record  all  that  you’ve  learned  about  your  insulation  and  air  barrier  in  your  home:      

   Attic  –  What  type  of  insulation  do  you  have?    

What  do  you  calculate  the  R-­‐value  at?  Is  there  an  air  barrier  and  what  does  it  look  like?  

 Walls    –  What  type  of  insulation  do  you  have?  

What  do  you  calculate  the  R-­‐value  at?  Is  there  an  air  barrier  and  what  does  it  look  like?  

 Boxing    –  What  type  of  insulation  do  you  have?  

What  do  you  calculate  the  R-­‐value  at?  Is  there  an  air  barrier  and  what  does  it  look  like?  

 Basement  walls  –  What  type  of  insulation  do  you  have?  

What  do  you  calculate  the  R-­‐value  at?    Other  insulation  and  air  barrier  systems  you  want  to  make  note  of?  

1. Vaulted  ceilings  2. Crawl  spaces  3. Basement  floor  4. Other  

                   

Important  Safety  Note:  Remember  that  if  you  have  Vermiculite  insulation  –  do  not  mess  with  it  and  do  not  have  a  blower  door  test  done!
