I ynene` is not subject to loss of R-value due to aging, windy conditions, settling, convection or air infiltration; nor is it likely to be affected by moisture related conditions. A FACT SHEET with R-value data is available upon request. Air Permeance/Air Barrier /air Seal The Icynene Insulation System' fills any shaped cavity; and adheres to all materials, creatin, assemblies with very low air permeance. No additional interior or exterior air infiltration protection is necessary. Air permeability of core foam: ASTM E283 data 0.0049 L!S-m= @75 Pa for 5.25" 0.0080 L!S-n` @75 Pa for 3.25' In all buildings, adequate mechanical vendiationlair supply should be provided for optimum IAQ (Indoor Air Quality). See ASHRAE guidelines. Water Vapor Permeance Icynene'° is water vapor permeable and allows structural moisture to diffuse and dissipate. It will not entrap moisture in materials to which it is applied. Water vapor transmission properties: ASTM E96 data 6 perms 240 ngi(Pa•s•m') @ 3" (76mm) thick 4 perms 360 ng!(Pz-s•m') @ S' (127mm) thick Because of its low air permeance, Icynene° is not infiltrated by moisture- laden air. Computer modeling of moisture movement in walls using a program (MOIST) developed by Doug Burch of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NISI) suggested that a 1.0 perm rating was not required when Icynene® insulation was used, except in climates as cold or colder than Madison, Wisconsin (7500 Heating degree days). This conclusion was in general agreement with other computer modeling of moisture movement in building envelopes performed in Canada. In those situations that warrant a vapor barrier, the use of low vapor permeable paint on the interior dry.vall is adequate. Water Absorption Properties Icynene' is hydrophobic and does not exhibit capillary properties. It does not wick and is water repellent. Water can be forced into the foam under pressure because it is open celled. Water will drain by gravity rather than travel horizontally or vertically through the foam. Upon drying, thermal performance is fully restored.

Conditioned air stays inside the building. ** An effective building envelope design must deal with conductive, convection and radiant heat transfer. The attached document illustrates how an air barrier and insulation material such as Icynene D can effectively eminate convection heat costs for the educed R-value. Tha result is educed energy consumption and operating t fer structure. The Effectiveness of Thermal Insulation cont Icynene's air seal capability virtually eliminates convective heat transfer within the insulation and reduces unwanted air leakage through the building envelope. This feature improves the efficiency of the building envelope thereby reducing the heating and cooling costs and reducing the size of HVAC equipment. As a result lower operating costs are realized and the cost of the operating equipment is reduced. The on-site spray applied application of Icynene provides an excellent air seal that ensures a low air infiltration rate for the building envelope. This product characteristic improves energy efficiency of the building, versus similar homes with more R-value but high air infiltration rates. as demonstrated in the graphs above. In summary. 1. Heat loss/gain involves controlling: Conduction (R-value) heat flow Convection (air leakage) heat flow Radiant heat flow 2. An insulation's R-value rates it's performance in only 1 category - conduction. 3. Increasing R-value from R-20 to R-40 decreases conductive heat flow by 2 % - as demonstrated in Fourier's steady-state heat flow equation. 4. Once an optimal and cost effective level of conduction heat flow control has been obtained, further substantial gains in energy efficiency can only be obtained by minimizing the air leakage of the building envelope. The Effectiveness of Thermal Insulation The conventional method of evaluating the performance of insulation is to measure the R-value, the conductive heat flow resistance of the material. The measurement of conductive heat flow resistance is made using the guarded hotbox apparatus. This test procedure (ASTIv1 C-518-02) measures the thermal conductivity of insulation material. In this test: one side of the specimen is heated to a specific temperature and after steady state heat flow has been reached, the temperature on the opposite side is measured. Through this temperature measurement the R-value is calculated. The outside surface of the test apparatus and the specimen is sealed and insulated to minimize the heat loss through the edge and eliminate the effects of any convection or radiant heat flow. This measurement solely defines the conductive heat flow resistance of the insulation material, the R-value. Once the R-value of an insulation material is determined, the heat flow through it can be calculated using Fourier's steady-state heat flow equation. Q=AxAT R Where: Q = Rate of heat flow, BTU/hr A = Area, ft2 AT = Temperature differential, ° F R = Resistance to heat flow, hr.ft2 ` F/BTU This equation effectively calculates the benefit of increasing the thickness of any type of insulation when there is no air movement (convective heat transfer) through the insulation. As an example; consider 1000 ft2 of insulated area with a temperature differential of 40`F. Let us include the outside air film at R-0.2 and the inside air film at R-0.7. The total R-value before the application of any insulation is 0.9. Increasing the insulation R-Value provides the following heat flow reduction rates as shown in Graphs 1.1 Conductive Heat Flow Reduction With Increasing R-Value O LL 3 ? m 0 = C of O a v U ? 9 d C K O U 90% 93% 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 48 R-Value of Insulated Space (hr ft2 OF I Btu inch) Graph 1.1 t The Effectiveness of Thermal Insulation cont. In Graph 1.1, we can see that R-4 reduces the heat flow by 82% of the total and at R-20, the heat flow is reduced to 96% of the total- The graphic results of the Fourier's equation demonstrates that doubling the insulation R-value from a total R-value of R-20 to R-40 generates a mere 2 % of additional heat flow reduction. REDUCE AIR INFILTRATION - REDUCE ENERGY USE In the case of insulation material with significant air permeance, conductive heat loss should not be the only criterion used for establishing insulation thickness. Convective (air infiltration) heat loss/gain must be considered as well, particularly when a substantial latent load is involved. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Oli conducted an experiment' to determine the efficiency of a roof assembly insulated with low density, loose-fill fiberglass insulation and discovered that up to 50% of the heat loss occurred as a result of convection; air circulation through the insulation. This result showed that the air-permeable insulation had lost its anticipated thermal performance level by half and that convective heat transfer had a significant negative impact on insulation performance. The importance of reducing air infiltration can be easily demonstrated by analyzing the energy consumption for heating and cooling houses that have different R-vaiues and air infiitration rates. The fallowing evaluation was generated using the REM/Design energy analysis software. This evaluation deals with three identical houses, located in different North American cities with three different levels of insulation and air-infiltration. The house design is fully detached, has approximately 3,500 sq.ft. conditioned area, with two stories and a conditioned basement. The first is a Typical house with an R-19 air permeable insulation installed in the walls & R-30 in the ceiling. The air infiltration rate used for this analysis is 0.6 ACH at natural pressure. The second house has the same air permeable insulation material with a Higher R- value. R-43 in the ceiling & R-19 in the walls. The air infiltration rate is maintained at 0-6 ACH at natural pressure. The third is an Icynene house with R-11 in the walls, R- 18 in the ceiling. An air infiltration rate of 0.1ACH at natural pressure was used for Icynene because of its air sealing capability. Heating and cooling costs and the required heating and cooling equipment capacities for each house are plotted on the following graphs. The utility rates are set at $0.08 per kWh for electricity and $0.50 per Therm for natural gas. Graph 2.1 shows the energy costs for heating the 3 different version of the same house in several cities throughout North America. It can be seen that savings on heating cost reached up to 40%-50% with Icynenea when compared to the "Typical" and "Higher R-Value" insulation systems. Also, the graph indicates that the colder the climate, the greater the heating cost savings are with Icynene. 2, ' ORNL's Building Envelope Center: Fighting the Other Cold War URL http:iiwww.om).eoviORNLReviewirev26-2'textlusemain.htm3 The Effectiveness of Thermal Insulation cont.

Romex, has been used successfully in the U.S. for at least 10 years, when partnering with AAC walls, not to mention in Australia for much longer than that The question posed to Mr. Brooks about the time in the product causing problems is not an issue. The minute amount of lime in the product has no damaging affects on the romex wine. Typically it is recommended that a block patch cover the existing routed channel after the romex is installed. Please do not hesitate in calling me with any future questions or concerns regarding AAC.
