most people have insulated their homes to save energy. whta is a negative consequence of this action?

Answer 1

Insulation and ventilation are two different things so ignore ventilation
Wen a house is insulated the temperature of the outside materials will be lower and it will result in a higher vulnerability for frost damage.The water on the outer wall's evaporates slower and can coses algae to grow.

Answer 2

First question: I don't know about words carrying energy, but even a dog knows when he's been kicked. No matter how nicely or politely you give an insult, people often figure out your real meaning. Our words carry as far as God when we pray sincerely, though. Our actions definitely have consequences, and I don't even need to bring religion into the discussion to show that. Our choices are expressed in our actions. Our actions, persisted in, become our habits. Our habits become our attitudes, and our attitudes become our character. Unfortunately, our character heavily influences our actions, so this is a difficult cycle to break (have you ever tried to break a bad habit?). There is a world filled with things that I do not know, but people who practice far eastern meditations such as qigong seem to have much better health than average. Even if you decide to pursue qigong, don't reject Western medicine for urgent things and God for spiritual guidance.

Answer 3

At one time homes were being insulated with foam injected into holes in the walls. Outgassing from the foam caused breathing problems. I believe that improved materials are now in use. When glass wool is used for insulation protection must be worn to avoid problems.

Answer 4

Less ventilation - the air gets stale a lot faster. An easy way to deal with this is to open the windows up for a very brief period of time once a day.

Answer 5

well I can think of two possible answers:

first, since they think they've saved energy by insulating, they turn up the thermostat higher which makes the savings go away..

when a house gets too airtight, it can also get stuffy and a gas leak could be more severe...

Answer 6

There is less air flow and ventilation in their home, so bacteria and mold flourish and you get a "sick" home. Many people are, in fact, allergic to their home environment.
