Also no mention of the fact that larger homes tend to be multiple stories, and thus they have less surface area per square foot. So insulation efficiency tends to go up as home size increases.
- iofj 11y agoIt's a fun example of Jevon's paradox though. The more efficient the insulation ... the more heat is needed to warm houses (because people don't consider the cost of heating anymore is the reason usually given). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox
