Building insulation system

Abstract

The building insulation system includes a reflective, non-porous bag filled with thermal insulation material. The covering of the bag is made from reflective polymeric facer or plastic, which facilitates reflection of thermal energy radiation. The reflective non-porous bag provides a thermal barrier for conduction, convection and radiation aspects of thermal energy transfer. An important requirement for a perforated reflective bag will be necessary for some applications. This is due to different climate zones or building material used.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A building insulation system, comprising:
 a bag having a first surface and a second surface, a first end and a second end, and a first side and a second side that form a hollow compartment;   an inlet port having a first removable cover at the first end of the bag;   the bag having at least one removable member that forms an indentation.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the indentation is configured to align with an outlet gang box of a structure and extends from a group consisting of from the first side towards the second side, and across the bag from the first side to the second side. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2  further comprising a vent incorporated into the bag and having a second removable cover, wherein the vent is made of a perforated material, and the first removable cover are a peel and stick. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3  further comprising the hollow compartment filled with the insulation material, wherein the insulation material includes a material selected from a group consisting of cellulose fiberglass, hemp fiber, and a superior closed-cell lightweight and resilient expanded polystyrene with advanced metallic polymer facers. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the bag is configured to under or above windows and fit in corners. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the bag is folded or shaped to fit in nonstandard size spaces. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1  wherein to fit nonstandard heights the insulation within the bag is filled to the desired height and the bag is folded down from a top end. 
     
     
         8 . A ceiling bag for preventing thermal bridging, comprising:
 a bag having a top, a bottom, a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side; and   a groove extends from the first end to the second end along the first side from the bottom and terminates prior to reaching the top to form an upside-down L-shaped profile.   
     
     
         9 . The bag of  claim 8  wherein the groove is configured to receive a truss so that a bottom portion of the bag fits between adjacent trusses. 
     
     
         10 . The bag of  claim 9  wherein a top portion of the bag extends above a truss, the second side engages a first side of an adjacent ceiling bag, and an adjacent truss. 
     
     
         11 . A method of recycling virgin expanded polystyrene (EPS) for use as insulation material in a bag, comprising the steps of:
 collecting and sorting EPS waste material;   cleaning the EPS waste material;   shredding the EPS waste material into smaller pieces; and   packaging the smaller pieces of shredded EPS waste material.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising the step of adding an anti-static coating to the shredded EPS waste material. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising the step of delivering the packaged shredded EPS waste material to an installation site; and blowing the shredded EPS waste material into a bag.
