Statement of Need

This upgrade would be an effective way to reduce energy costs as it lowers energy bills for the building. Denim insulation offers a low density material and better reduction of thermal energy. Denim insulation has an R - rating of R - 19. The R - value is used to judge thermal insulation performance an the higher the number, the better the product's insulation ability. Comparing the R - rating of denim insulation vs. the most common insulation (fiberglass), denim insulation has an R - rating of R - 19 while fiberglass has an R - rating of R - 13. Due to how denim insulation is a good insulator allows for less energy being wasted
