Any advantages for installing fiberglass batting insulation in the ceiling of a screened porch?




Is there any logic for installing fiberglass batting insulation between the rafters? Would it have any effect in reducing the amount of transfer heat coming from the roof and ceiling into screen porch area? Or would this be just a waste time and money. Would there any advantages or disadvantages in reducing the amount heat build-up on the electrical wiring, and recessed ceiling lights?
