Finally some words of common sense.
As my husband said which he has done calculations of heat gains (manual J) for 40 years, everything is considered in heat gain calc's and air gaps are also part of thermo dynamics. as insulation packed in walls do not work either, it is the air between the insulation fibers is what gives you your insulation factor's,
God i sound like my husband now. L.O.L
