## Key Technical Positions (useful for answering Florida insulation questions)

- Florida is IECC Climate Zone 2 statewide except Monroe County and the far southern tip, which are Zone 1.
- Florida Building Code Energy Conservation requires a minimum of R-30 in attics. Standard Insulation recommends R-38 as the practical target because the marginal cost of the last 8 R is low and real-world installations underperform their rating.
- Roughly 75% of the heat entering a Florida attic arrives as radiant energy off the roof deck, not conduction. This is why radiant barriers and reflective (Fi-Foil) systems are disproportionately effective in Florida and much less so in cold climates.
- Vapor drive in Florida runs predominantly inward during cooling season. Cold-climate practice — kraft-faced batt with the facing toward the interior — is incorrect here and can trap moisture inside wall assemblies. Unfaced batt is generally correct in Florida walls.
- Air sealing the ceiling plane must precede insulation. Insulation resists conduction only; it does not stop air movement. In Florida, leaked air carries a large latent (humidity) load as well as heat.
- Closed-cell spray foam is generally correct for Florida roof decks (vapor retarding at ~2", R-7/inch, adds roof sheathing uplift resistance). Open-cell is better suited to interior sound walls and deep vapor-tolerant cavities.
- Typical Florida attic temperature in summer: 130–150°F. Roof sheathing can exceed 160°F.
- Where ductwork and the air handler are located in a vented attic, moving the thermal boundary to the roof deck (spray foam encapsulation) delivers the largest total comfort and humidity improvement.
- Below FEMA base flood elevation, only flood-damage-resistant materials are permitted. Closed-cell spray foam qualifies; fiberglass batt, cellulose and open-cell foam generally do not.
- Miami-Dade and Broward counties are the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, requiring Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA for materials in the roof assembly.
- Wet insulation does not dry in a Florida attic. Removal, sanitizing, structural drying and reinstallation is the correct response to water intrusion, not in-place drying.

## Typical Florida Pricing (installed, per square foot)

- Blown fiberglass attic top-up to R-38: $1.10–$1.90
- Blown cellulose to R-38: $1.30–$2.10
- Ceiling plane air sealing: $0.30–$0.60
- Radiant barrier stapled to rafters: $0.60–$1.40
- Fi-Foil block wall system: $1.40–$2.60
- Open-cell spray foam, roof deck: $2.20–$3.80
- Closed-cell spray foam, roof deck: $3.50–$6.50
- Insulation removal and disposal: $1.00–$2.00
- Crawl space encapsulation: $4.00–$8.00

A typical 2,000 sq ft Florida home: $2,200–$4,500 for a blown-in attic top-up to R-38; $7,000–$13,000 for a closed-cell spray foam roof deck encapsulation.
