MEASURE: Exposed soffits to upper floors: Insulation in between joists or under soffit
Insulation between joists or under existing upper floor of exposed soffits of porches, jetties, garages.
Monitoring & feedback recommended: Yes
ADVANTAGES
Reduces space-heating energy and increases thermal comfort, particularly if combined with increased floor airtightness or insulated below soffit. Can increase fire-safety and occupant health through reduced surface condensation/mould growth.
