In a typical house it's not unusual to have temperature differences of several degrees from room to room. Attics, basements and additions usually have the greatest air temperature differences. When one room is uncomfortably hot or cold there are several factors to consider. Inadequate Insulation In a cold climate like Illinois, proper insulation is essential.
The recommended R-value for attics is 43, and an R-value of 21 for walls Air Leaks Proper weather sealing around windows and doors will eliminate drafts and energy loss.
