Insulation

Commercial buildings consumed 18 percent of all energy used in the U.S. in 2022. Architects are fully aware that savings can be made using a variety of different retrofit measures. Too often, however, they cannot financially justify those projects because they can’t reliably forecast the potential savings.

As urbanization becomes more prevalent, the built environment’s impact on climate change and local ecosystems will worsen. Since thermal bridging significantly reduces buildings’ energy efficiency, it’s one of the main drivers for these outcomes. What technologies and analytical techniques can prevent heat loss?

Join us for a free webinar on July 30^th at 2pm EST as we showcase different projects and how they have successfully implemented tapered design into their roof assemblies through iterative design and specific language in their specification.

Bringing exceptional performance to the growing continuous insulation market, Atlas recently introduced EnergyShield XR Continuous Insulation, for both residential and commercial projects, and is the only polyiso continuous insulation board designed for both above- and below-grade applications.

Pearl Group has announced the installation of a cutting-edge, real-time digital counter that showcases the substantial CO₂ savings achieved through its innovative PU insulation systems. This initiative is part of Pearl’s ongoing commitment to achieving global climate neutrality through promoting the widespread insulation of residential and industrial buildings.

Justin Koscher, President of PIMA, joins us to discuss tapered roof insulation and how it can help improve drainage and reroofing challenges.

The scope of the project was to remove all fiberglass and metal strapping, steam clean all surfaces, insulate with closed cell spray foam, then cover the foam with intumescent coating on all vertical surfaces.

The climate’s chaotic disposition reveals oversights commercial construction workforces have made, but these are fixable with advances in fire-resistant building materials and resilient envelopes.

Owens Corning announced the full conversion of its extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation production to FOAMULAR^® NGX^® (Next Generation Extruded) in all US and Canadian plants.

The demand for better-performing, more sustainable insulation is at an all-time high, especially in space-constrained construction assemblies.  Plazamate XR gives designers and builders maximum Styrofoam Brand insulation performance with minimum thickness.
