You appear to have forgotten about the fact you would need to install some quite beefy split air conditioning to get the place down to a reasonable temperature in the summer. So the money you've saved on heating, you spunk on the electric bill. And the extra cost of the insulation will be doubled by the cost of the air con. Makes sense. Not. -- frag MicroPlanet Gravity Newsreader V3.0 http://mpgravity.sourceforge.net/

Not if it's properly thought out, it shouldn't.

Except insulation works both ways, and in cavity wall insulation for example will reduce the amount of heatfrom a sunbeaten exterior wall radiating through an interior one. HTH.
