Green Builders use Radiant Barriers to reduce a/c run time by 20%

A study in 2009 at the Energy Center at Appalachian State University showed that up to a 20% reduction in the AC unit's run time during the 7 hours of peak attic temperature!   Energy savings, less electric consumed, pay less for cooling your home with a Green Insulation Product!   Radiant Barriers are easy to install, either in new construction or retrofit existing homes.   They are used in ADDITION to mass insulation as radiant barriers reduce the movement of Radiant Energy which accounts for most of the heat gain in buildings.  Reduce your attic temperature up to 23-degrees F by using the reflective foam product while improving the efficinecy up to 57% of the cooled air delivered through the air ducts.

Radiant Barriers qualify for LEED points, Energy Tax credits but more and more Green Builders are looking for the best Green Insulation Products available using recycled materials, easy to use, non-toxic and effective to use.   We ship radiant barriers for homes/business, metal roofing, under vinyl siding , metal building, animal barns and the uses go on and on.  All products are shipped factory direct to avoid warehousing (how is that a Green way to do business?) and double shiping !   Let us know when and how much you need and it will be at the job site for you.  Green Cooling And Heating Store promotes only the highest quality Green Building products.

Crete-Heat Growth up 48% due to Green Builders

Green Buildings start from the ground up-so people are using the best Green Insulation product out there under the concrete. Crete-Heat is insulated radiant Grid system for poured concrete. Shiplap joints keep the water/moisture out of the radiant tubing, 2 inch + EPS insulation gives the highest R- value for under slab, the patented 3" on center cogs make installing the pex, quick, easy, accurate and without the need for wire mesh or tying the tubing down. Green builders, architects, engineers and general contractors are demading the best! See the video of "this old house" using it! www.GreenCoolingAndHeatingStore.com look on Crete Heat page and see the video.




Don't let the heat go into the ground. Radiant heating is wonderful, install the best, start with the green recycled content of EPS foam.

EPS Foam Insulation

This article is out talking about the Global warming effects of some insulation.  Thought should share it as GreenCoolingAndHeatingStore  uses only EPS foam insulation.  Our Crete-Heat and Barrier and Igloo products are made from EPS foam.

Avoiding the Global Warming Impact of Insulation

Two common foam insulation materials are produced with hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blowing agents that are potent greenhouse gases— extruded polystyrene (XPS) such as Dow Styrofoam of Owens Corning Foamular, and standard closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF). While all insulation materials reduce greenhouse gas emissions (by saving energy), insulating with thick layers of either of these two particular foams results in very long “payback periods” for the global warming potential of the insulation, thwarting even the best attempts to create carbon-neutral buildings. The bottom line is that designers and builders aiming to minimize the global warming impacts of their buildings should choose fiber insulation (cellulose, fiberglass, or mineral wool) or non-HFC foam insulation.
