Anyone care to comment on the ideas presented here?
The Most Cost Effective Efficient Attic Solution
Not on their endorsed products necessarily, but just the ideas presented.
I'm thinking of doing some of the things presented on this site.
Here's a quick summary of everything they discuss:
1) Installing radiant barrier on roof rafters
2) Ensure good attic ventilation; they mention possibly using solar attic fan
3) Air sealing the ceiling -- 1 inch coat of spray foam beneath other insulation
4) Air sealing the ceiling -- Recessed light covers (recommends only using efficient bulbs so as not to overheat fixtures)
5) Air sealing the ceiling -- Attic stair cover
6) Air seal and insulate any duct work in attic
