He aha ka ‑ waiwai ？
ʻO ke kumukūʻai R ‑ kahi ana maʻamau a nā ʻoihana e hoʻohana ai e hoʻoholo i ke kūpaʻa wela ma nā mea kūkulu ʻokoʻa. ʻO ke kumu, inā ʻaʻole kūpaʻa loa kahi mea, e hoʻokuʻu maʻalahi ia i ka ea wela a anuanu hoʻi, a ʻaʻole ia e hoʻokumu i ka hoʻoweliweli. E loaʻa i kēia ʻano mea he waiwai ʻO ke kumukūʻai R ‑ , akā ʻo nā mea me ke kūpale kūpahana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e loaʻa nā kiʻekiʻe R ‑ kiʻekiʻe.
He aha nā ʻano insulate i hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka puka o ka hale kaʻa o R R Value ？
Aia he ʻano kumu ʻelua o ka hoʻohuihui no nā puka hale kaʻa i loaʻa i kēia lā –Polyurethane a me Polystyrene. ʻAneʻane ʻo Polyurethane ka koho ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no ka mea pili pono ia i nā paia o loko o ka puka. ʻO kēia, a me kona ikaika flexular (kūlou) kiʻekiʻe e hoʻolilo iā ia i kahi koho insulated maikaʻi āpau. Hoʻohui, hāʻawi ia i kahi insulate hou me kahi kiʻekiʻe R-waiwai.
Ma waho aʻe o nā puka hale kaʻa , hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka insur polyurethane i nā puka komo o nā home he nui, a hoʻohana ʻia ia i nā kaʻa kaʻa pū kekahi.
ʻO Polystyrene, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hoʻohana mau ʻia i ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā mea, nā kīʻaha wai wai hoʻolawe, a me nā huahana ʻē aʻe. Ke hoʻohana ʻia e insulate i ka puka hale kaʻa, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ma waena o nā paia kila o waho o ka puka ʻekolu papa. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ia i nā puka hale kaʻa ʻelua ʻāpana, kahi e hoʻopili ʻia ai i ka ʻaoʻao i loko o ka paia kila hoʻokahi o ka puka.
ʻO ka insulate ka mea wale nō e pili i ka puka R's ‑ Value ？
ʻOiai inā ʻoe e koho i kahi puka hale kaʻa i hana ʻia me ka hoʻīpī ʻoi loa i loaʻa i kēia lā, me ka ʻole o nā alahaka pumehana maikaʻi a me kahi ʻōnaehana pale maikaʻi ʻoi loa, hiki i ka wela ke pakele ma o ka puka hale kaʻa. E nānā pono i ka puka o kou hale kaʻa e loaʻa ana i ka manawa maikaʻi maikaʻi a puni kona kino waho a ma waena o kāna ʻāpana. Inā palupalu kāu huehue ma kahi o ka maʻalahi, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hana i kāna hana e like me ka mea i manaʻo ʻia.
He aha kahi maikaʻi R ‑ Waiwai no ka puka hale kaʻa ？
Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi hale kaʻa kaʻawale i insulated, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka puka hale kaʻa me kahi helu R rating 10 a ʻoi paha, ʻoi loa inā he wela kōkua kāu i ka hale kaʻa. Inā ʻaʻole insulated a ʻaʻohe wela ka hale kaʻa, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele me ka puka hale kaʻa me kahi waiwai R ‑ 6.
Inā pili a hoʻopaʻa ʻia kou hale kaʻa (e like me ka nui o nā hale kaʻa e pili ana), makemake ʻoe i aoeaiia caaiea puka me kahi pālākiō R ‑ 12 a ʻoi paha, keu hoʻi inā loaʻa kahi lumi moe a i ʻole kahi nohona ʻē aʻe ma luna o ka hale kaʻa.
Pono wau e wela i koʻu hale kaʻa inā koho wau i kahi puka me kahi waiwai R 16 ？
Pili kēia i ke aniau kahi āu e noho ai. Inā loaʻa pinepine ʻoe i nā mahana ma lalo o ka hau i ka pō, makemake ʻoe e mālama i kahi o ka wela ma ka hale kaʻa. Inā hana kou hale kaʻa e like me kahi papa hana, e pāʻani i kahi lumi no nā keiki, a i ʻole inā ʻoe e hoʻolōʻihi i ka manawa i ka hale kaʻa e hana ana i kāu kaʻa, makemake paha ʻoe e wela hou aʻe no kāu ʻoluʻolu.
ʻO ka mea hoihoi, ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻolilo i ka mea nui i ka hoʻomehana ʻana i kou hale kaʻa inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi puka hale kaʻa me kahi waiwai R-16 no ka mea ʻo ka wela mai kāu kaʻa e hoʻonui ai i ka mahana wela. Eia kekahi, e kōkua ka wela o kou home i ka insulate i kou hale kaʻa a mālama pū i ka mahana.
A, inā ʻoe e noho i kahi anuanu wela, ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o ka puka hale kaʻa me kahi waiwai R-16 e kōkua ai i ka hoʻopaʻa i ka ea ʻoluʻolu, e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a me ka liʻiliʻi o ke kumukūʻai e hoʻalili ai i kāu hale kaʻa.
