Roof Insulation Monitoring
Figure 1. The above graph shows the temperature profile through the two types of insulation for an example day in September, 2006. The diurnal (daily) variation in cold nightime and warm afternoon temperatures is shown by the two sets of temperature lines. The effective of the R60 insulation between the two types of insulation can be seen by the temperature at the base of the insulation, which is close to be being the same. The temperature within the insulation varies, due to the different physical properties of the two types of insulation.
