It should be noted that just about all information that conveys how you can make your home more energy efficient, is referring to newer homes built on a slab foundation. A homeowner should be aware that there are additional issues that need to be addressed, if your house is on a raised foundation; has a "crawl space". The whole concept of creating energy efficiency, is to start with balanced air flow within the house. Leaks allowing the elements to come in or controlled air out, can greatly reduce the efficiency. One should consider how much efficiency loss they may have, if they don't properly seal off a crawl space. "Like trying to carry water in a paper bag".
