A new residential construction project outside of Park City, Utah used innovative building products and materials from Atlas Roofing Corporation to ensure insulation efficiencies
The design team and project partners enlisted to reimagine the new Summit House, which is recognized as the highest ongoing construction site in North America, were met with a unique set of opportunities and challenges
Delivering reduced greenhouse gas emissions and lower embodied carbon profiles for two long-time, market leading brands: DuPont Styrofoam Brand Extruded Polystyrene Foam Insulation and Froth-Pak Spray Foam.
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
