Existing Homes Study

A study done by Harvard on existing homes found that if the 45 million under-insulated homes in the United States were insulated properly:

  • More than 800 trillion BTUs  could be saved each year. 
  • More than 240 premature deaths associated with pollution could be prevented.
  • 6,500 fewer asthma attacks would occur. 
  • The number of restricted activity days would be significantly reduced each year for people with respiratory ailments like allergies and asthma.
