MEANS REMOVING EXCESS MOISTURE FROM CAST IN SITU MASS | 1 |
| 20080236078 | Attic Insulation with Desiccant - A method of reducing the amount of cooling energy required to cool a building is provided. The method includes disposing a porous insulating material substantially covering the ceiling in the attic space of the building to a substantial depth. The porous insulating material includes a desiccant. The method further includes permitting the desiccant-bearing porous insulating material to adsorb water moisture from the attic space and then permitting the adsorbed water moisture to desorb from the desiccant-bearing porous insulating material into the enclosed room of the building, whereby the temperature of the desiccant-bearing porous insulating material is reduced, resulting in a reduction in the amount of cooling energy required to cool the building. | 10-02-2008 |
