Loft insulation is needed because in uninsulated homes the hot air particles rise through the roof causing heat loss ‚ on average 25 percent of the heat is lost through the roof due to uninsulated lofts. Insulating lofts is very effective as it reduces heating bills and helps towards energy costs.. In a house where there is no loft insulation installed it would cost £250 and would save £145 per year ‚ also save 730kg of co2 per year.

I shall not use any black objects for insulation because black will radiate the heat greatly. I have found information from the internet‚ that the polystyrene will be the best in insulator. I will have to bung up the end of the test tube as well because heat will be lost by convection currents
