Why is PINK Green?
It might surprise you that most homeowners in New England
are sending money through their roofs.
Almost 78% of homeowners have not added insulation to their homes because they believe, in part, that they have enough insulation in their homes.**
However 80% of homes built before 1980 are not insulated to government standards.* Also even newer built homes might not be as energy efficient as you think. Most state energy codes only meet the minimum insulation requirements for new homes.
Overall, about 60 million homes in the U.S are under-insulated, costing Americans $8.2 billion a year.*
Simply insulating existing homes to current Department of Energy recommendations would save 800 trillion BTUs (that's 76 supertankers of oil) each year.†
