Three Projects Show the Benefits of EPS Insulation
The Walgreens distribution facility in Windsor, Wis., was originally built in 1980 with a standing seam steel roof offering an R-value of 9.5. Owners decided it was time to improve the energy efficiency of the distribution center and hired RRK Associates, Ltd., to carry out the project.
“The original insulation consisted of batt insulation installed on the bottom side of the metal roof panel, totaling approximately 9.5 R,” said Guy Snowden, Principal of RRK Associates, Ltd., the commercial/industrial roof consulting firm on the project. “Walgreens wanted a high-performance roof that would provide better insulative properties and energy savings.”
