Abstract

Claims (17)

1. A building insulation system, comprising:

a bag having a first and a second surface, a first and a second end, and a first and a second side that form a hollow compartment;

an inlet port at the first end of the bag;

the hollow compartment filled with an insulation material;

a hose extending from a hopper machine is connected to the inlet port; and an extension tube connected between the inlet port and the hose, wherein the extension tube has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the inlet port so that transport air is allowed to escape around the extension tube;

the first surface has at least one removable member that forms an indentation; and

the indentation is configured to align with an outlet gang box of a structure.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the indentation extends from the first side towards the second side.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the indentation extends across the bag from the first side to the second side.

4. A building insulation system, comprising:

a bag having a first surface and a second surface, a first end and a second end, and a first side and a second side that form a hollow compartment;

an inlet port having a first removable cover at the first end of the bag;

a hose having an extension tube, wherein the extension tube is inserted into the bag and having a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the inlet port such that air is permitted to escape from the hollow compartment of the bag between the inlet port and the extension tube;

the bag having at least one removable member that forms an indentation.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein the indentation is configured to align with an outlet gang box of a structure and extends from a group consisting of from the first side towards the second side, and across the bag from the first side to the second side.

6. The system of claim 5 further comprising a vent incorporated into the bag and having a second removable cover, wherein the vent is made of a perforated material, and the first removable cover and the second removable cover are a peel and stick.

7. The system of claim 6 further comprising the hollow compartment filled with the insulation material, wherein the insulation material includes a material selected from a group consisting of cellulose fiberglass, hemp fiber, and a superior closed-cell lightweight and resilient expanded polystyrene with advanced metallic polymer facers.
