Additional Home Energy Efficiency and Insulation Considerations
Ending up with a highly-energy-efficient house and saving lots of money on energy bills for heating and cooling involves more than dumping in more insulation. Weatherizing and making a home energy efficient involve more than insulation. A home weatherizing and insulation project should also involve the following projects.
Start with a home energy audit to know where to add insulation and where to air seal the home.

Air sealing a home can be time consuming. It involves tasks such as caulking around doors and windows, plumbing, electrical wiring, and anywhere air is leaking into the house.
Finding and sealing air leaks on the ceiling or floor where they meet the walls, around fireplace flues or chimneys, kitchen exhaust, water heater vents, and other places.
If windows are old, damaged, or single pane, they may need to be replaced with more energy efficient double pane windows or storm windows added for the winter months.
The thresholds of all doors should be checked and replaced as needed with ones that have pliable sealing gaskets.
Caulking, weatherstripping, and covering air leaks can go a long way toward eliminating those leaks and reducing energy waste.

Once the leaks are all remedied and insulation is added, there must be proper ventilation in the home. Ventilation strategies include natural ventilation, whole-house ventilation, and spot ventilation. Natural ventilation can include periodic opening of windows and doors, but natural ventilation can be unpredictable and hard to control.
