Bringing sustainable design & spray foam insulation together.

What makes sustainable design and spray foam insulation an ideal combination for architects?

On average, 30% of the energy used in commercial buildings is wasted1. Commercial buildings cost their owners more than $100 billion annually in energy costs1. Commercial buildings account for 18% of the nation''s energy use and nearly 18% of greenhouse gas emissions1. By 2035, 75% of all buildings will be either new or renovated1.

These facts empower architects to shape a more sustainable future. Energy efficiency is one of the ways Icynene spray foam insulation can contribute to sustainable design. When considering sustainable design and spray foam insulation, most insulation types only deliver R value, but building science teaches us that the inclusion of an air seal like that provided by Icynene spray foam insulation is vital for total building performance.

Icynene insulation foam spray products qualify for LEED credits in the categories of Energy & Atmosphere, Innovation & Design, Materials & Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality.

NAHB Approvals of Icynene Insulation Foam Spray.

All Icynene products are green approved products according to the National Green Building Standard of the National Association of Home Builders.

The Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA) defines an air barrier system as a system of building assemblies within the building enclosure - designed, installed and integrated in such a manner as to stop the uncontrolled flow of air into and out of the building enclosure. ABAA-evaluated Icynene spray foam insulation products include Icynene ProSeal and MD-C-200.

Use of ABAA-evaluated building materials such as spray foam insulation in your commercial design can contribute to:

Reducing building enclosure moisture problems Improving indoor air quality Reducing building heating and cooling costs Reducing greenhouse gas production

Green Your Next Building Project with Icynene

Better energy efficiency (reduced greenhouse gas emissions) Healthier indoor environments Less excess materials Safer formulas Renewable-based option available

While most traditional insulation types only provide R-Value, building science shows us that an air seal, like that provided by Icynene, is imperative for total building performance. Protecting against air leakage with Icynene means that homeowners can significantly reduce CO2emissions and save up to 50% in energy costs related to heating and cooling. On average, the energy savings can exceed the installation price within three to four years. Plus, an energy saving air seal help keep airborne pollutants, allergens and moisture out ensuring a healthier and cleaner indoor air environment.

Icynene's dual performance function of R-Value plus air sealingalso means that the amount of building materials required is less and can also shorten construction schedules. Icynene works for the life of the building, eliminating the need for replacement or additional materials and waste.

Whether you're building a new home or renovating your existing home, the right insulation plays a critical role in providing protection and comfort for you and your family.

Although it's behind the walls, choosing the right insulation can help you save up to 50% in heating and cooling costs.
