Insulation helps to keep heat inside a house, meaning as less heats escapes there is no need to heat the house up, normally by Central Heating, therefore saving energy.

it depends on the r-value of the insulation and the area or temperature range of the climate it is to be installed
Technically, no. However, in this context, yes. It wouldn't actually save energy, but it can lower the amount if energy needed to do a task. For example, if you insulate your house well, you would not need to heat/cool is as aggressively because the hot/cold air would not pass through the walls to the outside air nearly as easily as a house that has no or poor insulation.

The TAN DELTA test measures the dissipation factor (or loss tangent) of insulating materials, which indicates the energy loss in the insulation when subjected to an alternating electric field. It is calculated as the ratio of the resistive (loss) current to the capacitive (reactive) current in the insulation system. A higher TAN DELTA value suggests increased insulation degradation or moisture presence, which can signal potential failure in electrical equipment. This test is commonly used to assess the condition of transformers, cables, and other electrical insulation systems.
The critical radius of insulation is a counterintuitive concept within the study of heat transfer.
