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.

Why Green builders are using Radiant Barriers

Save Energy, Natural Resources and have a healthier building with radiant barrier products.




Reduce your carbon footprint! Keep A/C from running so much, energy consumption will be reduced and you will be improving the quality and value of your building. Roof temperatures reach upwards of 165 Degrees F and attic temperatures can reach 130 degrees F on a typical August day. According to industry sources, radiant heat makes up to 93% of summer heat gain, and Up up to 75% of winter heat loss. Conventional insulations such as fiberglass or foam spray address two of the three mechanisms (convection and conduction) of energy transfer and are affected by humidity, but do nothing to stop radiant energy transfer.



That is why Green Builders are now using Radiant Barriers in new homes and renovations. A radiant barrier reflects radiant heat energy instead of trying to absorb it. During the winter, 50-75% of heat loss through the ceiling/roofing system and 65-80% of heat loss through walls is radiant. If you are depending on R-value (resistance) alone to insulate against heat gain and loss, you are not doing all you can to conserve energy. According to the Florida Solar Energy Center, Reflective radiant barrier foils consistently improve the performance of conventional insulation in ceiling and wall application. NASA has utilized radiant barriers for many years. Radiant barriers are used in warm climates to reduce heat gain and in cool climates to prevent up to 75% of heat loss from your building.
