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.

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.
