        "text": "While traditional stucco itself offers some inherent insulation properties due to its mass, re-stuccoing can contribute to improved energy efficiency, particularly if combined with other measures. A new, properly applied stucco layer can seal minor cracks and gaps in your exterior, reducing air infiltration. For a more significant energy efficiency boost, some re-stucco projects incorporate an exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) or a rainscreen system, which adds an insulating layer beneath the stucco. Discuss these options with your contractor.",
