R-values are a measure of how well a material resists heat flow or heat transfer. Specifically, they measure the thermal resistance of building insulation materials, such as wall, floor, and roof systems.
The higher the R-value, the more effective the insulation is at preventing heat transfer. This means that a higher R-value will result in less heat loss in the winter and less heat gain in the summer. In other words, the higher the R-value, the better the building’s envelope will be at keeping the indoor temperature comfortable while reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling.
R-values are determined by thorough testing and can vary depending on the type of insulation material and thickness. Depending on the local climate and building codes, different regions may have varying recommended R-values.
When selecting insulation, it’s essential to consider the R-value recommended for your climate and building type to allow for maximum energy efficiency.
The ICE Panel’s R-value per inch is one of the highest in the industry, offering impressive savings per dollar spent when targeting energy efficiency. By building with ICE Panels, your building will have an R-value as high as R44.
