Is extra Insulation worth the cost
Is extra Insulation worth the cost
(OP)
I'm building a new home in Florida. The exterior walls are CMU and I'm trying determine if it is worth the extra cost to use 2" Insulation board (r10) in place of 3/4" Insulation board (r4). The former cost about 3 times as much as the later and wondering if it will really save me more in term of utility cost in the future. Any thought would be appreciated.

Economic insulation of thickness is moot as energy costs are sure to rise. Put on the thicker/better insulation.
