Overall Conclusion
Walls with higher CR i.e. that contain adequate C-values and Rvalues are preferred for minimising heating and cooling energy consumption in all of the climate zones. In many regions, the R-value of the wall system plays a significant role in reducing energy use. However, with sufficient C-value, minimal levels of additional resistance are required to achieve reduced energy consumption. R-value alone is inadequate to achieve desired energy consumption levels.

Overall Conclusion
From a long term cost perspective, the optimal solution is to use a cavity wall, with face brick exterior and add only the insulation required for the specific building design and climatic conditions. In some cases, a well sealed air cavity will suffice.

Benefits of RoxulEnergy Saver Cavity Wall Insulation

Contributes significantly to achieving a high home energy rating. Completely water repellent whilst allowing the cavity to breathe. Improves sound performance properties of the wall. Reduces heat flow through sun-prone walls in summer. Assists with thermal mass of cavity walls to provide greater winter comfort. Completes the building insulation envelope. Installed in existing walls easily. Made from 100% recycled material.
