How to Save up to 50% on your
Heating
and Cooling Costs
Air moves in and out of a home through every hole, crack, and crevice. The Department of Energy reports that heating and cooling (space conditioning) account for approximately 56% of the energy used in the typical American home. Roughly one third of air infiltrates through walls, ceilings, and floors.
At Structure-Green, when utilizing our “whole-building” concept, we start with installing spray foam insulation into your structure. This maximizes your investment, as it accomplishes two goals:
- It Seals the Building envelope. This step prevents indoor air from escaping and keeps outdoor air from entering.
- It Increases the Amount of Insulation in your Structure. Due to advances in technology, we can install spray foam in the attics as well as in the walls of existing structures.
If during our free initial consultation, we determine that spray foam insulation would not be the best fit for your structure, we offer cellulose insulation. This product is used primarily to cap existing insulation on the attic floor. Did you know:
SPF reduces air infiltration allowing insulation to be moreeffective and reducing the demands on your HVAC equipment - SPF reduces moisture infiltration by reducing air leakage
- SPF resists heat transfer through air infiltration regardless of flow direction.
- SPF reduces thermal bridging, which causes higher energy usage and cost
- SPF out produces conventional insulation materials because they trap still dry air and if that air moves or becomes wet , thermal resistance can drop by 50%
