1. Minimum code requirement for flat ceiling insulation

2. A material that absorbs heat from a heat source - and then releases it slowly

3. Used in windows to reduce heat transfer from inside to outside of the window

4. Minimum code requirement for vaulted ceiling insulation

5. Very inefficient window - seldom used in energy efficient buildings

6. Excellent insulating value for window - in you-value

7. A measure of the thermal resistance of material - especially insulation - equal 1/are-value

9. Most frequently used insulation for wall and ceiling cavities - are-3.5 per inch

10. Are-value per inch for fiberglass insulation

11. Allowing for winter sun entry into the south side of the house

12. Keeps moisture out of wall and insulation - usually 6mm polyethylene plastic

13. Are-value per inch of cellulose insulation

14. Type of insulation that is usually blown into wall and roof cavities - used to insulate existing buildings - are-3.7 per inch

15. A device that consist of a fan - a removable panel - and gauges used to measure and locate air leaks and ACH
