Re: [papercreters] Re: Insulation Value

The only difference is where the cooling is taking place.  In Alaska the cooling is taking place externally and naturally.  The important bits are still the same.  Reduce air infiltration through the insulation (compressed PC may be key here) and other building materials, reduce thermal breaks (re-engineer doors, windows and framing), reduce air infiltration through and around openings.  Use thermal mass to  moderate temperature swings.

I urge you to consider the differences between a typical
refridgerator and a house in an arctic climate in the winter.
