Owens Corning Introduces New EnergyComplete Spray Foam

Owens Corning introduces EnergyComplete with Flexible Seal Technology, a whole home insulation and air sealing system. This innovative system combines energy savings, safety, and affordability. With the EnergyComplete system, Owens Corning provides homeowners and building industry professionals in the United States a new opportunity to reduce home energy use and lower related energy bills. "Buildings are the number one user of energy in the U.S., consuming 40 percent of the country's energy resources — more energy than industry and more than transportation," said Karel Czanderna, group president Owens Corning Building Materials. "By delivering an energy efficiency system that meets the needs of homeowners and building professionals in performance, ease-of-use, safety and affordability, we have a great opportunity to dramatically reduce energy use today for new homes being built and the existing 80 million under-insulated U.S. homes." Installed in two parts, the EnergyComplete system uses a new foam-based sealant to reduce air leakage, addressing a major source of energy loss, and proven PINK FIBERGLAS insulation to deliver exceptional thermal performance. When used in new home construction, the EnergyComplete system meets DoE recommendations, and exceeds the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code requirements by approximately 40 percent.
