Interesting Products

Many times there are products that sound too good to be true. HZG just ran into one that fits that description...and then some.

I will not go into the product name or the company that sells it. However, it touts the reduction of energy bills by 15% by reducing radiant energy (as conducted by an independent lab.) With that being said, let's address the product.

1) A reduction of 15% is amazing when it's across the board, regardless of the energy used...
2) Radiant energy is important when it exists in the buildings thermal envelope - not in an attic space.
3) Independent lab? What lab, and what makes them independent?
4) We don't care how hot or cold an attic gets, as long as the thermal envelope is sealed and there is proper attic ventilation.

It's great to see new products out there - however research is very important BEFORE spending money.
