An attic display at the SECO annual meeting in March 2008 was set up to demonstrate the efficiency of energySnap radiant heat barrier.
energySnap radiant heat barrier was installed between the rafters of the display in the same fashion that it would be installed in a typical home.
An infrared lamp was attached to the back side of the display to simulate the heat of the sun on a typical roof.

A 3 inch round hole was cut in the radiant heat barrier to allow the radiant heat to pass through the opening.
The plywood shows a temperature of 168F where as the radiant heat barrier is only 96.1F.
This translates to a 71.85 degree difference in temperature and shows how a radiant heat barrier from Energy Home-Shield can block a tremendous amount of heat from entering your home.
