Around 12 years ago we installed that stuff in our attic on the bottom side of the joists & rafters of the roof boards creating an air space between the foil and roof sheathing and the use of electricity for A/C dropped by over 28%. Some of the best money I ever spent. If you want to see just how effective this is, just get a 60 watt incandescent light bulb, turn it on and hold your hand about 2 inches from it. You'll feel heat and it will increase the longer you don't move your hand. Now do the same thing but with a piece of common foil (shiny side facing the bulb) between your hand and the light bulb. You will not feel any heat at all.
