Polyurethane Insulation:Reducing Building Energy Consumption

• ~40% of the overall U.S. energy demand goes into the building sector • ~40% of the energy used in buildings goes into heating and cooling • PU insulation in the building envelope can reduce heating and cooling energy loads significantly

PU insulation helps meet energy reduction targets

• Federal Buildings: Executive Order 13514 – All new federal buildings net zero building energy requirement by 2030

• Architects: AIA 2030 target: net zero energy buildings by 2030

• Building Codes: Ashrae 90.1, IECC 2009 higher R-value requirements
