subject: Advantages of Home Insulation [print this page] Fiberglass insulation and batt insulation when installed in an effective manner, not only help homeowners to lower heating or cooling costs, but also provide environmental benefits to the whole community. The process of cooling or heating homes, factories or businesses leads to excessive amounts of fossil fuel combustion, which in turn emits copious amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, being the primary component of "greenhouse gases" contributes towards global warming. Thus, these insulations are not only pocket friendly, but also helpful in reducing carbon footprints and helping the community at large.
