It has concrete floors (not covered with carpet or anything other flooring)it's 22 degrees outside and the hardwood floors upstairs are pretty cool. Before the floors in the living space were warmer because I was heating with baseboard heaters in each room but this year the electric company raised the price 2 cents a kwh and I got a $300.00 electric bill so now I've turned on the natural gas furnace. installing roll insulation in ceiling of basement which is under floors of living space my basement is heated but a smaller amount than up in living space (usually 66-68 upstairs and 58-60 at the same time in basement) my question is about the kraft paper facing, I think it should face the basement because of any moisture in basement.

If I have to now open the heat run in the basement that I currently keep closed, that seems like it will offset any savings I get in the living area. Not sure.
