    Keeping heat in is no different then keeping it out. Insulation is insulation.

      Sure, but there are other facets of our architecture that tend to lock-in heat:

      • Low ceilings
      • Thick ston/brick or timber-framed + insulated walls.
      • Closed-plan layouts with many internal doors to compartmentalise our homes.
      • Double or triple glazed windows.

      In contrast to hotter countries such as the USA which has higher ceilings, thinner walls, and more open floorplans.
