Invisco Whole House Fan Company Announces Attic Mounted Ducted R38 Whole House Fans

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Temecula, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 9, 2012 -- Temecula, CA January 9, 2012 Invisco Whole House Fan Company engineers have spent hundreds of hours researching the latest technology in insulation in the process of designing a new and extremely effective R38 whole house fan ceiling interface for colder climates.

This research was initiated because Invisco has a goal to offer the best performance at the lowest cost for each whole house fan system that is sold. Invisco's systems are all connected to rooms or halls through holes cut in the ceiling. Ducts carry the hot air up into the attic pulled by a powerful fan mounted high in the attic on the rafters to make the sound of the fan barely audible. The holes in the ceiling need to be insulated as well or better than the rest of the attic in cold climates.

The benchmark for insulation in new homes and for home energy retrofits is defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as R38 rated insulation for attics. There are several methods available to achieve that rating. One is to install fiberglass insulation in batts or layers. Another is to blow in cellulose insulation. A third is to install foam sheets. Specifications on fiberglass, cellulose and foam show that of the three, cellulose is the most effective.

Invisco engineers consulted with insulation experts including the joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Star, the North American Insulation Manufacturer's Association (NAIMA), Aspen Aerogel (a NASA Spinoff company), Owens Corning fiberglass insulation division, and the leader in R38 whole house fans, Tamarack Technology.

Several facts emerged from this investigation. The most effective methods of insulation include air, aerogel, foam, cellulose and fiberglass. Of those, air and cellulose are the least expensive. Invisco engineers created a duct and damper ceiling interface that uses air, cellulose and aerogel and a technique known as "thermally broken" packaging in a unique product that is economical, easy to install, requires no power to operate, and exceeds R38 performance.

The result is a family of ceiling interface products in sizes from 12 inches diameter up to 20 inches, each capable of being used with any ducted whole house fan system. So whether you install one of Invisco's powerful multiroom R38 whole house fan systems or Quiet Cool's single room systems, you can use the Invisco R38 Ceiling Interface to best insulate the opening.
