You are paying for heat, water, insulation, and shelter that your great-grandparents got for free.

The R-value test was designed by the company that sells fiberglass insulation. The ICC, the private nonprofit that writes your building code, is funded by the manufacturers whose products it mandates.

This is not opinion. It is public record.
Each video ends with where the legal pathway still exists and exactly what it costs to build.
