Hey Nick,
Here's a question for you. I tried on another group, but noone took a stab
at answering it.
If you insulate the hot water pipes, what added advantage do you get by
adding an aluminized bubble-wrap style radiant barrier as well?
I've been trying to figure out the effectiveness of those radiant barriers
but I'm a bit confused about exactly how to handle the conduction vs.
radiation issues. So any of your wonderful mathematical treatments would
be greatly appreciated.
This goes for attic usage of radiant barriers as well. If you believe the
ads, putting radiant barrier in your attic above the insulation will do
wonders for heat gain. But does it?
Thanks for your ideas...
