Spray foam insulation is by far the most superior insulation material on the market today. Applying spray foam in your home or building will dramatically improve the energy efficiency of the space. Foam insulation has substantial thermal properties. Standard insulation materials such as fiberglass and cellulose have r-value's ranging from 2.5 - 3.2 per inch installed. Spray foam carries an exceptionally high r-value of 3.9 - 7.4 per inch installed. This extremely high r-value proves that no other insulation material available today, performs as well as spray foam.

While many homes require only caulking and weather-stripping of doors and windows, some are in such disrepair that they need to be entirely replaced. Green Space Construction can help you find the solution that's right for your home. In many cases, new windows and/or exterior doors can create a more comfortable living space and save on energy bills. Green Space installs only Energy Star windows, exterior doors, and skylights, and can work with you to find a style that fits your preference. According to the Department of Energy, Energy Star windows and doors can help lower utility bills by as much as 15%.

After working with Ace storage on previous projects, we were approached again and offered the opportunity to bid the new units that needed to be within a climate controlled environment. We proposed installing closed cell spray foam at all areas where thermal energy is a concern. Green Space Construction successfully installed roughly 6 thousand square feet of foam on this project.

The most cost effective way to improve the energy efficiency of your home is by installing attic insulation. Attic insulation can dramatically reduce your energy costs throughout the year. Without sufficient attic insulation your home can lose nearly 40% of the conditioned air your HVAC system generates. If you notice that your HVAC system is running excessively you could greatly benefit from increasing your existing attic insulation. If you are looking for attic insulation in St. Louis, you have come to the right place!

Having proper insulation is critical to the energy efficiency of your home. Adding or upgrading the insulation in your home can save you enormous amounts of money on energy costs each year. The cost to install new installation is typically returned within just a few months, and is one of the best investments a homeowner can make. Insulation continues to pay for itself each and every season. Green Space Construction specializes in the leading insulation methods offered on the market today. We are leaders in the St. Louis area in spray foam insulation and blown cellulose insulation.

Reduction of heating and cooling costs can be maximized by both insulating AND air sealing. The general concept of air sealing is to stop leaks throughout the home that cause drafts. Many air leaks can be found with little difficulty, such as those at windows and doors. However, holes and drafts at basements, attics, and crawlspaces are usually the source of most issues. Sealing these sources of leaks with caulk or spray foam will have a tremendous impact on improving your comfort and reduce utility expenses.

Ventilation is one of the most commonly overlooked components of energy efficiency and weatherization projects, but it's a critical factor that we evaluate on all weatherization projects at Green Space Construction. Weatherization projects that include ventilation will allow for increased energy efficiency and improved indoor air quality compared to weatherized structures without ventilation. Why is that? The reason is that ventilation is a necessary component of your home to maintain good energy efficiency.

Properly installed pipe insulation can prevent heat loss and gain from uninsulated water pipes in your home. Pipe insulation saves energy and improves the effectiveness of your homes heating and cooling systems. Tubular foam is the most common form of pipe insulation, although some applications call for foil faced fiberglass batts. Piping should be insulated in all unheated spaces, including garages, attics, and crawlspaces, in order to prevent them from freezing. Pipes that serve ice makers and other appliances should also be insulated.

A radiant barrier is typically a reflective surface, usually foil, that is installed in the attic trusses or directly on top of attic insulation. Radiant barriers will protect your home from summer heat by reflecting radiant solar energy out of the attic and away from the living space. Installing a radiant barrier can dramatically reduce the load on your cooling systems, helping to increase the comfort of your home and increase overall energy efficiency. A radiant barrier works cooperatively with attic insulation, in that the radiant heat from the roof is "bounced back" which keeps the insulation cooler.
