We love building science! This photo is of a house we recent spray foamed with closed cell spray foam, photo 1 around the attic access shows how cold the ceiling is with 2" R-14 closed cell spray foam and 13" R-36 fiberglass to achive code. Customer made a temporary attic access with Osb wood and 2" polystyrene foam. We have over a 30 degree temperature difference because it's improperly insulated. Picture 2 just shows how the attic is on a normal Minnesota summer day. Outside temps were 70. Roof temperature was 168° while the attic was still seeing 122° air temps. We are happy with a black metal building still maintaining 60° inside with no Hvac. That's a 60° difference from the attic!
