Proper Insulation and Ventilation for effective energy saving

Proper Insulation and Ventilation enables temperature control, movement of air and moisture both into and out of the building. Insulation, air barrier and vapor barrier all need to in tune with each other to achieve comfortable and healthier environment inside a building. Properly Insulating and Ventilating the Attic and the Crawl Spaces has long been a concern as standard practices were not capable of addressing radiant heat transfer.

Improper Insulation and Ventilation leads to formation of moisture due to condensation and air infiltration and the only option to avoid such conditions is properly ventilate the attics and crawl spaces. Most builders and design professionals are not familiar with modern materials for insulation and progressive building science techniques which ensures the elimination all of these difficulties. Spray foam insulation can provide benefits that are far greater than traditional materials such as fiberglass and cellulose. By using spray polyurethane foam for insulation you can increase your home’s energy efficiency, structural integrity and air quality.
