Ken Levenson and Oliver Klein of 475 High Performance Building Supply will present on Foam Free High Performance Building Enclosures.
Foam Free High Performance Building Enclosures presents a clear and practical guide to achieving the highest levels of resilient and sustainable building enclosures while eliminating foam. The growing performance demands of air control, vapor control, thermal control, health and sustainability are examined. Foam insulation, dominant in today’s high-performance marketplace, is increasingly recognized as hindering many of these building performance goals. Practitioners are therefore wanting and finding new solutions that virtually eliminate foam and provide greater performance. This presentation is a careful look at how to do it.
(475) is a catalyst in the transformation of the US construction industry to high performance, ecological, low energy building. 475 provides the essential knowledge and components needed to develop durable, resilient, and sustainable buildings.
