According to the Department of Energy, in 2005, commercial buildings accounted for approximately 18 percent of total energy use in the United States and 35 percent of total electricity consumption. More than 60 percent of commercial-building energy use is attributable to losses through walls, foundations and roofs due to air infiltration or exfiltration. Energy costs account for approximately 30 percent of a building’s total operating costs. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the savings potential from the proper design and installation of energy-efficient upgrades is more than 35 percent – for example, approximately $25,000 for every 50,000 square feet of office space.
Polyurethane spray foam roof systems that use Honeywell’s Enovate blowing agent can save building owners both time and money. Spray foam roof systems are backed by manufacturer warranties for periods of 5, 10, 15, or 20 years. Renewable warranties that extend beyond those listed above are available based on re-inspection and regular service and maintenance to the system as outlined by the roof system manufacturer.
Polyurethane spray foam has the highest R-value per inch of any roof insulation system, reducing both heating and cooling costs. Spray foam roofs also eliminate thermal transfer in and out of the building at insulation joints and mechanical fasteners. This can add up to 16-23% in energy efficiency over other board insulation products. And because it has a highly reflective white surface, it provides superior reflectivity and emissivity properties.
