Total energy consumption is projected to increase 1.5 percent annually until 2020! See www.eia.doe.gov for more information.  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 and minimizes the need for excess sealing material. In one step, it creates a complete insulation and air barrier material 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. Visit the FCIC’s website for more information. 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.
