Reduce Energy Consumption Through Air Control

Today’s rise in energy costs demands a qualified response from the home building industry. Spray polyurethane foam insulation is the most advanced insulating material common to the construction industry. Air moves in and out of a home through every hole, crack and seam. Approximately one third of air infiltrates through ceiling, walls and floor openings. The Department of Energy reports that heating and cooling (space conditioning) account for about 56% of the energy used in the typical American home.

Construction Cost Benefits

HVAC Equipment Downsizing: Installing spray polyurethane foam to the roof underside and crawl space walls creates an unvented attic area for air handling units and ductwork to operate more efficiently. Tightening the building envelope provides HVAC equipment downsizing. Flexibility in Framing: High R-value allows for stud and rafter size reduction to increase living space.
