Polyiso EPDs Document Energy-Savings Potential of Polyiso Roof and Wall Insulation over a 60-year Building Life.
March 10, 2015
Consistent with its leadership in the delivery of energy-efficient and sustainable building insulation solutions, the Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association (PIMA) announced the receipt of third party-verified ISO-compliant Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for polyisocyanurate (polyiso) roof and wall insulations as manufactured by PIMA members across North America.
Given today’s low energy prices, it’s become a little more difficult to sell the value of high-R roof insulation based solely on traditional Return on Investment.
The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) has partnered with ASTM International to develop Product Category Rules (PCR) for asphalt roofing in North America.
Through the introduction of EcoDocs™, architects, contractors and other building professionals now have an easy-to-use online tool for documenting CertainTeed insulation, ceilings, and gypsum products used in LEED® projects.
