We sat down with PIMA president Justin Koscher to discuss the role of polyiso insulation in energy-efficient building construction and how the industry can further efforts to increase building energy efficiency and decarbonize.
A typical building loses up to 25 percent of its heat through the roof. Industry-leading Elevate roofing and insulation systems by Holcim were thus instrumental in the construction of the world’s largest Passive House-certified office building: the Winthrop Center in Boston.
Siplast announced the addition of two high-performance polyiso wall insulation products to the company’s existing WALLcontrol Air & Water-Resistive Barrier Systems, offering an exterior continuous insulation solution and supporting the company’s continued expansion into the building enclosure space.
