Does loft insulation reduce heat loss by conduction convection or radiation?

Insulation reduces heat loss by replacing air space with a less conductive material (insulation). Therefore the answer is conduction.

What is the basic function of insulation?

Heat insulation reduces the rate of heat flow. Sound insulation reduces the amplitude of the sound energy transmitted through a cavity.

How does insulation keep a home warm?

Insulation can help keep a warm house warm or a cool house cool. It reduces the transfer of heat by conduction, so warm air stays warm, and cool air stays cool. Insulation is a material that is a poor conductor of heat, usually because of pockets of trapped air.


How does loft insulation stop conduction and convection?

Loft insulation stops conduction and convection as the insulation which is inserted into the wall cavity prevents the particles of heat energy from traveling through the wall cavity, this stops conduction from taking place. Loft insulation also prevents convection as the cavity insulation stops the air particles from moving, therefore they cannot transfer heat and convection cannot take place.
