If your lanai is not heated or cooled, adding insulation above the ceiling will be a waste of money. It won't accomplish anything. Insulation is only used to slow down the heat transfer between a conditioned space and an unconditioned space. That is why the builder doesn't insulate the ceilings above the lanai and the garage.
