Dealers have a new opportunity to increase their sales volume by educating builders of air-conditioned homes on the value'of more than the minimum amount of insulation. A research study on eight houses thickly insulated with mineral wool at the Air-Conditioned Village in Austin, Texas, showed that dealers can sell zrn average of $171.55 worth of insulation over and above FHA minimum property requirements per 1,250-square-foot house and save the builder money on his overall construction costs. The additional insulation reduced summer heat gain, permitting the use of smaller, less expensive air conditioners.

A comparison of the heat gains in the thickly insulated houses with what the heat gains would have been, had the houses contained the minimum required insulation, indicated that each home would have needed at least one more ton of air conditioning without the additional mineral wool. Sav-ings in cooling equipment averaged $311.15 per house..Srrbtracting the cbst of the added insulation left the builders with a net savings of $139.60 per house.
