New Rules Meqn More Soles

Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. says the new FHA insulation standard requires a substantial reduction in heat loss compared to the old standard for all FHA single family and two-family units.

The old standard specified one rate for all singlefamily homes and another for all two-{amily units regardless of size while the new standard assigns each home a maximum allowable heat loss rate based on square footage.

Owens-Corning predicted the new rules will result in the use of additional insulation to reduce fuel consumption by one-third, r'hich is the chief intent of the new standard.
