Attic project update: Fan arrives later today. In the meantime, I thought I would experiment with some foil coated bubble wrap radiant barrier as my research indicates it can be effective in lowering attic temps. The product is relatively inexpensive at $65 for a 16" x 100ft roll so I thought I'd give it a try and the initial results are promising.
Its a sunny cool day here in Atlanta - currently 52 degrees. This section of the attic roof is in full sun and I'm getting a 13 degree differential in temps with and without the barrier which is installed with a 1-1/2" air space between the sheathing and the barrier using 1'x2" furring strips.
This is bringing back memories of my 911 A/C project :-)
