Insulation for improving heating

To what extent does any given amount of insulation material increase the temperature of a room? So for example, how much would the thickness of different insulation materials need to be increased to raise the temperature of a room by say one degree celsius? Does it work that way or is there more to it than that/is it not that straight forward?

"There is a little bit more involved, there are a few different materials on the market. Plus it depends on the location of the room and the construction type. Heating/cooling system windows/doors. As we all know heat rises and will escape from any place it can."
