An Energy-Efficient Home

Total energy consumption is projected to increase 1.5 percent annually until 2020 (www.eia.doe.gov). Energy conservation is becoming more essential and many trades, design professionals, homeowners and building owners are beginning to adopt a new attitude towards the types of building products being selected to increase energy efficiency.

Icynene® can potentially reduce air infiltration by more than 90% with just the application alone. There is no need for excess sealing material to acquire the airtight thermal envelope necessary for increased energy efficiency. In one step, it creates a complete insulation and air barrier system to seal all gaps and crevices that compromise air tightness. Its effective air infiltration control allows for HVAC equipment rightsizing for optimal energy efficiency, thereby delivering energy cost savings of up to 50% versus traditional insulation options. Homeowners and home improvers in the U.S. can qualify for an energy efficient mortgage.

And for those commercial and institutional buildings that are constructed or upgraded to meet energy performance standards, this translates to as much as a 30% rate of return for a very low risk investment. From schools and healthcare facilities to hospitality and retail businesses, energy reduction efforts can reap enormous financial and branding benefits.

More Energy Efficient - The Icynene Insulation System®

With energy costs taking such a huge bite out of the monthly budget, it’s little surprise that energy efficiency is the top consideration among those who are considering insulation options.
Using Icynene® soft foam insulation and air barrier system is one of the best ways to improve energy efficiency and thermal comfort. As a complete insulation and air barrier, Icynene minimizes air leakage in the building structure, which allows for HVAC equipment rightsizing. This saves dramatically on initial equipment costs and ongoing utility costs - Icynene can save up to 50% every month in energy costs versus traditional energy options.

When taking into consideration all other costs associated with creating an airtight thermal envelope, it becomes obvious why Icynene is the preferred insulation that guarantees increased energy efficiency. With Icynene’s exclusive 31-Day Payback Formula, we can help you calculate the cost of The Icynene® Insulation System versus traditional insulation options. This formula takes into account all of the variables that impact the efficiency of insulation, so a more accurate comparison can be made.
