NCFI's InsulStar Spray Foam for Dream Green Home

摘要

The Schieler family manufactures more than 100 modular homes each year for families in five Midwest states with their company, Homeway Homes in Deer Creek, IL. Now, the company has manufactured a special one for general manager Ted Schieler, and its green. The 1,700-square-foot, ranch-style home incorporates energy efficiency, water capture and conservation, sustainable or recycled products, and measures to protect indoor air quality. The home includes a geothermal energy source instead of fuel, which refers to a process using heat from deep in the earth to heat or cool the home. "We're pairing the home's geothermal system with InsulStar high performance spray foam insulation," says Schieler. "It's the best-energy combo but there." He explains, "InsulStar closed-cell spray foam is an ideal insulator. Because it's a spray-applied foam, it fills every crack, then expands and cures to provide ultra-insulation and a vapor and air barrier. I don't seehdw you can build with geothermal without InsulStar. We believe it's an example for the entire building industry."
