Here
are two infrared scans taken at night of two individual houses.
Environmental conditions
were identical for both with an outside temperature of 24 degrees fahrenheit.
Both photos were
taken in the evening. The bottom photo is of a two-story home conventionally
built with wood and
fiberglass insulation. The top photo is a single-story home built with Thermocore's
4" R-24 wall
system. The scale to the right of the scans represents temperature, with the
red representing
warmth and the blue representing cold. As you can clearly see, there is a stark
difference between
the two photos.
In the stick-built home, one can clearly see the 2x4 studs 16" on center
as represented by the
colored lines and the fiberglass insulation as represented by the pink. This
photo shows the
tremendous amount of heat transfer/loss (and money loss) to the outside of the
walls. This
transfer can be seen in both the studs and the fiberglass, with the studs representing
greater
heat loss.
The top photo shows the Thermocore wall without studs and fiberglass and without
noticeable
heat loss. The outside wall temperature on the Thermocore wall is close to that
of the outside air
temperature. There is no readable thermal loss in the Thermocore wall. These
two photos clearly
show the true performance of Thermocore vs. conventionally built homes. Thermocore
Panel
Systems is the single most energy efficient way to build your home. By the way,
the owner of the
Thermocore home is not only warmer but he has more money in his pocket every
month too!!
