SOPREMA, Inc. has released its new SOPRA-XPS product line, a mix of extruded polystyrene thermal insulation panels, with applications in inverted roofing membrane assemblies, foundations, walls and civil engineering projects.

The design team, consisting of ZGF Cotter Architects, Fast + Epp structural engineers, and ITC Construction Group, paid close attention to energy-saving measures at the building envelope to minimize costs and carbon footprint, and improve occupant comfort

The energy efficiency of buildings is the main goal of these code changes, with the hope that the efficiency of all buildings (residential and commercial) will rise by about 10 percent

Developed by Owens Corning, the latest innovation in extruded polystyrene insulation contains a proprietary blowing agent that completely eliminates HFC 134a. FOAMULAR NGX delivers a 90% reduction in blowing agent GWP compared to legacy FOAMULAR insulation.

Education and awareness of the need for greater energy efficiency have moved the needle for higher performance building envelopes prompting greater consideration of insulation levels, R-value, air tightness, vapor diffusion, condensation control and more

From initial construction to eventual renovation or replacement, every building uses energy, water, and raw materials while generating waste and atmospheric emissions throughout its life cycle

A closed-cell, energy-efficient spray foam was selected for the lab retrofit. The insulation is the first in its class to leverage HFO technology in its blowing agent

Tremco Construction Products Group launched the first collaborative system that combines two industry-leading products. The Dryvit Outsulation Plus MD, MD, PE, HDCI, and X systems with the USG-Tremco Securock ExoAir430 System have formed the ultimate air/water barrier for the building enclosure, covered with a 20-year warranty: the Outsulation Securock ExoAir 430 Systems.

Insulation Institute spoke with David Goldstein, Co-Director of Climate and Energy at NRDC, about how the building sector in America can more aggressively pursue a comprehensive energy efficiency initiative to address climate change

The business park opted for a hybrid roofing system with a foundation of expanded polystyrene
