Insulation Effectiveness and Techniques

The video tutorial covers the installation of insulation in a tiny lab, using a Fleer t660 thermal imaging camera to demonstrate heat retention. It explains the two main types of insulation: fibrous and foam, and provides tips for effective installation. The video also addresses challenges faced during installation and offers solutions, emphasizing the importance of continuity and proper material handling. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the insulation process and its benefits.

What tool is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the insulation in the Tiny Lab?

• A regular camera

• A thermal imaging camera

• A barometer

• A thermometer

Which of the following is NOT a type of fibrous insulation?

• Mineral wool

• Fiberglass

• Spray foam

• Cellulose

What is the typical R-value range for fibrous insulation per inch?

• R1 to R2

• R2.5 to R3

• R4.5 to R5

• R3.5 to R4

Why is continuity important in insulation?

• To enhance the aesthetic appeal

• To ensure structural integrity

• To reduce construction costs

• To prevent uncontrolled heat bleed

What material is 400 times more conductive to heat bleed than wood?

• Aluminum

• Plastic

• Steel

• Copper

What is a common mistake when installing insulation with craft paper facing?

• Wearing gloves during installation

• Stapling the tabs to the inside of the studs

• Using a bread knife for cutting

• Not using enough staples

What is the main ingredient in both fibrous and foam insulation?

• Air bubbles

• Mineral wool

• Fiberglass

• Sheep's wool

What is the challenge with insulating the wheel well area?

• It's already insulated

• It's too large

• It's a triangular space

• It's made of wood

What solution was used to insulate the wheel well effectively?

• Leaving it uninsulated

• Adding more wood

• Building a box out of foam

• Using more fibrous insulation

Why couldn't the Tiny Lab add exterior continuous insulation?

• Lack of materials

• Maximum road clearance limit

• Cost constraints

• Aesthetic reasons
