More Energy
Efficient
Total energy consumption is projected to increase
1.5 percent annually until 2020
(www.eia.doe.gov).
Energy conservation is becoming more essential and
many trades, design professionals, homeowners and
building owners are beginning to adopt a new
attitude towards the types of building products
being selected to increase energy efficiency.
Spray Foam can potentially reduce air infiltration
by more than 90% with just the application alone.
There is no need for excess sealing material to
acquire the airtight thermal envelope necessary for
increased energy efficiency. In one step, it creates
a complete insulation and air barrier system to seal
all gaps and crevices that compromise airtightness.
Its
effective air infiltration control allows for HVAC
equipment rightsizing for optimal energy efficiency,
thereby delivering energy cost savings of up

to 50% versus traditional insulation options.
Homeowners and home improvers in the U.S. can
qualify for an energy efficient mortgage. Visit the
FCIC's website for
more information. And for those commercial and
institutional buildings that are constructed or
upgraded to meet energy performance standards, this
translates to as much as a 30% rate of return for a
very low risk investment. From schools and
healthcare facilities to hospitality and retail
businesses, energy reduction efforts can reap
enormous financial and branding benefits. Visit the
