Seminar covers how to use an air barrier system to control air leakage through all six sides of the building envelope. Uncontrolled air movement causes most of the indoor environmental problems that occur in your buildings. This includes high heating and cooling bills, high humidly levels, air quality, drafts and mold. During the seminar we will discuss ways that using a spray polyurethane foam insulation air barrier will help seal the building from the outside. We will also cover how spray polyurethane foam insulation can help with your LEED rating. We will review applications of SPF in high performance building envelopes and roofing assemblies commercial energy codes by state will be covered and how SPF works as a vapor retarder.
