Window shopping: the latest in energy-efficient windows by MacDonald, Christine; Provey, Joe / E In the Summer it will reduce radiant heat gain into the home and in the Winter it will reduce heat loss by radiation and minimize convective looping. What Is the Best Install Method for a Radiant Barrier by Sam Kanakanui / Home based business community Loft insulation not only prevents heat from escaping during cold weather, it also helps to prevent heat gain during the summer so your home stays more comfortable year round and saves on heating and cooling expenses.
