Hes also a huge proponent of building houses with climate controlled attics.
This is a big plus for houses built in the south. Reason, our attics can run easy 125F in the summer. By venting and exchanging air flow, one can get it down to95F easy. That is about wear my house runs.
Another factor, house placement and design to a lot. More so in the south.

Every dollar saved in heating/cooling is a big plus over the 30+ years of owning a house.

We did a cost analysis, not the one the spray company would give you, but based on the Amy of time we were actually home. In the end, it was going to take like 8-10 yrs to break even, and no one was going to pay $20k+ more for our house just b/c it had spray foam insulation. I also believe that if spray foam was really worth it, why wouldn’t everyone do it?
