Why is that door so dang cold?

What's wrong in this Frankfort, KY Home Inspections Picture?

This series of blog posts focuses on educating my clients, Active Rain & Localism readers along with my Facebook friends (see the Facebook Business Page Badge at the bottom of the post. ALL Facebook likes are appreciated. )

The picture below was taken during one of my recent Frankfort, Kentucky home inspections.  It's a picture of the door leading to a walk in attic area.

Well, it's so cold because it's just an interior door, uninsulated, unsealed, that leads to the cold attic area.  Why would a builder put an interior door leading to an exterior temperature area?  Because it's quite a bit cheaper and no one said anything about it.  Well, until I came along to point out the incongruity and loss of energy ($$$$$$$$) that it causes.

Do you have a walk in attic.  Is the door an exterior rated door complete with weather stripping.  It should be if you want to save energy ($$$$$$).
