American Lung Association 'Health House' Promotes Tighter Building for Better Indoor Air (Vol. 14/01):
The builder and homeowner chose Icynene insulation to help create a healthier indoor environment by addressing possible sources of indoor pollution such as excessive moisture, the intrusion of outdoor allergens and pollutants, and harmful emissions produced by building products during construction. Icynene also helped them meet the requirements of building a 'Health House' (program of the American Lung Association).
A Paradigm for Sustainable Healthcare Design: Rose Cherry's Home (Vol. 13/01): Rose Cherry's Home for Kids is the only hospice and respite center in Ontario, Canada. Icynene® was key in achieving proper building design and preserving a sterile and healing environment for patients, families and staff.
Lean, Clean and Green (Summerset, Vol. 12/03) A HERS score proved that the Icynene®-insulated custom home exceeded set performance standards by achieving superior energy efficiency and a healthier indoor environment, using less sealing material for a quicker construction process.
Energy Efficient Remodel of a Heritage Home (Wilmington, Vol. 12/02): Icynene® enabled the homeowners to take advantage of HVAC rightsizing in order to maximize energy savings. Icynene® also sealed the building envelope to reduce condensation and moisture-related problems (i.e. mold growth), airborne street noise, and improve indoor air quality.
The New American Home® 2003 - Part 1 (TNAH, Vol. 12/01): Icynene® was instrumental in delivering energy efficient construction in three high profile homes at the 2003 International Builders' Show. Icynene® had to meet Building America's energy efficiency guideline of HERS 90 and provide homeowners with an airtight building envelope, ensuring better indoor air quality.
