to create solutions to ice dam formation and the related water infiltration damage by using energy conservation measures involving minimal disruption to the interior and exterior finishes... of the building. This conservation-oriented approach has the additional benefit of being extremely cost effective. The earlier proposals, which addressed the ice dam leakage... manifestations of flaws in the thermal envelopes of their buildings. The project has also demonstrated that pursuing an energy conservation approach can be a better investment...

, always saves energy. This case study looks at a complex of buildings where it was possible to utilize conservation measures to remediate ice dams. It is broad in the scope of its...

of significant heat loss. These problem areas were organized into the following four categories: General energy conservation problems not related to ice dam formation such as missing.... Ice dam formation causes cathedral roof slope warming. Ice dam formation causes attic roof slope warming. While remedying many of the energy conservation and freeze-up problems...

, but there is usually very little focus on the vessel that can either waste or conserve that energy. The two go hand in hand. Buildings can be built right, even if they are large...

is very significant because these walls and ceilings add up to (conservatively) 20% or more of additional surface area in some attics, and original attic ventilation calculations...
