Abstract
An insulation panel is described that is adapted to be installed between framing members of a building, such as a stud, joist, or rafter. The insulation panel can be installed without the use of fasteners or adhesive. The panel is made of a rigid insulation material such as expanded polystyrene. Grooves are provided along a length of the panel to allow for compression and accommodation of variations in the spacing between framing members.
