A newly released study by ICF, an international consulting firm with expertise in the energy and energy efficiency sectors, shows that upgrading building envelope insulation leads to substantial energy savings and carbon emission reductions.
The building’s problem was a lack of insulation. There was virtually no insulation on the exterior concrete walls or the roof deck, so heat and air were escaping
