AB This paper focuses on the optimal ways of insulation of a house. It also discusses places in a house that should be or should not be insulated in order to gain maximum energy effiency and to avoid problems with humidity, moisture accumulation and the like that can be caused if the insulation is installed in a wrong or improper way.
