Measured effects of dust on the performance of radiant barriers installed on top of attic insulation
The rate of dust accumulation and the effect of this dust accumulation on a horizontal radiant barrier (HRB) is of special interest because a HRB may perform better in both summer and winter than a truss radiant barrier (TRB), a HRB is much easier to install for retrofits in existing homes, and a HRB requires less radiant barrier (RB) material than a TRB. However, a HRB has two important potential disadvantages -- condensation during winter which might cause structural damage and dust accumulation which could significantly degrade thermal performance. Results of a winter moisture field test have been reported previously by the authors of this paper. 16 refs., 10 figs., 10 tabs.
