Environmental Benefits of Closed-Cell Spray Polyurethane Foam

Key attributes associated with high-performance and green building designs include energy efficiency, occupant comfort and material durability. A focus on green building standards and more stringent code requirements have led to adoption of best practices in construction materials and methods. Among those is the use of more efficient insulation systems, air barriers and seamless monolithic roofing systems.

A focus on green building standards and more stringent code requirements have led to adoption of best practices in construction materials and methods. Among those is the use of more efficient insulation systems, air barriers and seamless monolithic roofing systems. Use of closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (ccSPF) can help architects, engineers, contractors and owners/developers more easily meet the stringent requirements of modern, sustainable building design. CcSPF provides excellent performance and environmental benefits as outlined in the following.

Growth in Green Building Practices

Volatile and increasing energy prices, concern over environmental impact, and occupant health and comfort — these are just some of the drivers of green building today. In fact, these trends are of paramount importance for residential, commercial and institutional building owners. Many building performance experts believe that the current state of energy consumption and carbon emissions in the United States requires a stark redirection of current design and construction approaches. Therefore, green building practices continue to grow in importance and acceptance by architectural and design communities.
