Effective Insulation Calculator
Definition
- Effective Insulation (I): The ability of a material or structure to resist the transfer of heat.
- Inside Temperature (T_i): The temperature inside in degrees Celsius (°C).
- Outside Temperature (T_o): The temperature outside in degrees Celsius (°C).
- Heat Loss Rate (H): The rate at which heat is lost.
Example
Let's say the inside temperature (T_i) is 22°C, the outside temperature (T_o) is -5°C, and the heat loss rate (H) is 10. Using the formula:
\[
I = \frac{22 - (-5)}{10} = \frac{27}{10} = 2.7
\]
So, the effective insulation is 2.7.

How to Calculate Insulation Needed
Formula: \( \text{Insulation Needed} = \frac{\text{Area to be Insulated}}{\text{Coverage per Unit of Insulation}} \)
- Insulation Needed: Total amount of insulation required
- Area to be Insulated: Total area that needs insulation
- Coverage per Unit of Insulation: Area covered by one unit of insulation
Example: \( \text{Insulation Needed} = \frac{1000}{50} \)
- Area to be Insulated: 1000 sq ft
- Coverage per Unit of Insulation: 50 sq ft/unit
Insulation Energy Savings Calculator
Formula: \( \text{Energy Savings} = \text{Current Energy Cost} - \text{Energy Cost with Insulation} \)
- Energy Savings: Amount saved on energy costs
- Current Energy Cost: Energy cost without insulation
- Energy Cost with Insulation: Energy cost with insulation
Example: \( \text{Energy Savings} = 2000 - 1500 \)
- Current Energy Cost: 2000 currency units
- Energy Cost with Insulation: 1500 currency units
Insulation Sq Ft Calculator
Formula: \( \text{Insulation Needed} = \frac{\text{Area to be Insulated}}{\text{Coverage per Unit of Insulation}} \)
- Insulation Needed: Total amount of insulation required
- Area to be Insulated: Total area that needs insulation
- Coverage per Unit of Insulation: Area covered by one unit of insulation
Example: \( \text{Insulation Needed} = \frac{800}{40} \)
- Area to be Insulated: 800 sq ft
- Coverage per Unit of Insulation: 40 sq ft/unit
How to Calculate Insulation Cost
Formula: \( \text{Insulation Cost} = \text{Insulation Needed} \times \text{Cost per Unit of Insulation} \)
- Insulation Cost: Total cost of insulation
- Insulation Needed: Total amount of insulation required
- Cost per Unit of Insulation: Cost of one unit of insulation
Example: \( \text{Insulation Cost} = 20 \times 30 \)
- Insulation Needed: 20 units
- Cost per Unit of Insulation: 30 currency units/unit
