The use of insulation in U.S. homes and businesses saves energy by reducing the need to heat and cool buildings, putting more money in the pockets of home and business owners. In addition, by saving energy, the use of insulation directly reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with producing energy to heat and cool buildings.
Beyond the benefits of the use of insulation, the insulation industry—including the manufacture, distribution, and installation of insulation—generates more than 550,000 jobs in the U.S. and nearly $36 billion in payrolls that support families and local communities around the country.
