One of the most effective ways to achieve these goals is through insulation; one of the most cost-effective ways to insulate the space you’re building or designing is with a polyisocyanurate installation for your roof.

We sat down with PIMA president Justin Koscher to discuss the role of polyiso insulation in increasing energy efficiency, and the role polyiso plays when used in below-grade for thermal resistance.

Holcim Building Envelope announced the launch of Enverge^®, an innovative, sustainability-focused spray foam insulation brand with a mission of changing the way the world insulates, creating more energy-efficient buildings and healthier living environments.

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.

Polyisocyanurate (polyiso) exterior wall insulation is a high-performing closed-cell, rigid foam continuous insulation that is bonded to various organic and inorganic facers on both sides. Polyiso accounts for over 75 percent of the insulation used in new and retrofit residential and commercial construction in the U.S.

Pressure is mounting for the building and construction industry to become more sustainable. Designing more energy-efficient buildings is part of that, but reducing embodied carbon is a more pressing — and often challenging — issue.
