Folks a lazy Sunday afternoon, doing some light reading. This essay posted by the building science people would be applicable to most of us, I think. If nothing else it'll make you sound smarter at your next gathering of friends.
Bookmarked this for the next time I get an "expert" disagreeing with me. Also, to give me something other than "insulation has a relatively minor impact" stance. This essay was the first time I saw a credible argument that gave credence to my idea of putting the crawlspace within the building envelope.
