Dead Air Space
August 1, 2006
One of the more interesting discussions about our house has to do with ‘dead air space’ and energy conservation. Our house, like all others of its era, was never insulated – despite this it keeps temperature/heat quite well. Naturally it is more expensive to heat then new homes, but I was surprised to find that it wasn’t as bad as expected. An older contractor explained that the reason for this was that the house was in fact insulated somewhat with ‘dead air space’.
