Abstract
Installation of garage door flaps and other draft prevention methods is generally an inexpensive and easy way to save money. More expensive decisions faced by business owners are insulation of the garage door and interlocking of the door with a heater/air conditioning unit. While former is nearly always good practice, two latter solutions require payback period calculations.
