As commercial property owners and managers seek new ways to make structures more energy efficient, the deployment of spray foam insulation can make a major impact. Here’s what to know.

Our 2025 issue is here! Browse topics from best practices for improving window openings, to how polyiso enhances building performance, and the importance of low-VOC insulation.

This article explores how the asthma & allergy friendly Certification Program evaluates a range of fiberglass insulation products, ensuring they contribute to healthier indoor environments.

This article addresses the challenges associated with window openings in building envelopes, focusing on the thermal performance issues that arise from improper or insufficient integration of continuous insulation systems. 

Indoor air quality and energy efficiency are critical considerations in building design as more people become aware of their impact on health and productivity. They’re also intricately linked — a well-sealed structure with effective ventilation maintains fresh air and minimizes electricity waste.

Effective insulation strategies that enhance energy efficiency, prevent moisture intrusion, and contribute to a durable and sustainable structure are crucial in this process.

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.
