        "text": "Drywall itself offers minimal insulation value; its primary role in improving energy efficiency comes when combined with proper insulation materials installed behind it. When insulation (like fiberglass batts or spray foam) is placed in the wall cavities before drywall, the drywall then acts as a crucial barrier. It seals off the insulated space, preventing air leaks and drafts that allow heat to escape in winter or enter in summer. This combination effectively regulates garage temperatures, making it more comfortable and potentially reducing energy costs for adjacent living areas.",
