Petersen’s new PAC-Shield line of polyisocyanurate (polyiso) roof and wall insulation products features ten panels designed to enhance the thermal performance of the building envelope.

Justin Koscher, President of PIMA, joins us to discuss tapered roof insulation and how it can help improve drainage and reroofing challenges.

Understanding the impact of fasteners penetrating through the control layers responsible for keeping the building dry and comfortable is critical to long-term sustainability both in terms of durability and energy performance.

This new plant is the latest in a series of capital investments that Elevate has made since its acquisition by Holcim in 2021, and the LEED-certified green facility incorporates materials across the Holcim and Elevate portfolio in its construction and design.

The Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association announced the approval of Lamtec Corporation as an Associate member.

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.

As part of the multi-year project, L&M Roofing Associates, LLC, of Carnegie, PA, was hired to replace about 65,000 square feet of old rubber roofing on the Nova Place Concourse.

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.

Studio 804 is a year-long, educational opportunity for graduate students who are entering the final year of the Master of Architecture program at the University of Kansas School of Architecture and Design. Students are tasked with real-world building challenges as part of the program, including the designing, hiring of consultants, establishing budgets, getting permits and the physical act of building the entire structure.
