INGREEN BUILDING SYSTEMS CORP.
INSULATION IS ONE OF THE KEY COMPONENTS OF AN ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOME OR COMMERCIAL BUILDING
WHAT IS THE R-VALUE OF INGREEN BUILDINGS?
The measure of a materials insulation thermal resistance is rated by R-value. Material with a higher R-value means a more effective thermal barrier between the outside temperature of a building and the conditioned space inside the envelope.
INGREEN PANELS provide superior insulation values from both a r-value perspective and the ability to assemble a tighter building envelope
R-values for InGreen Buildings depends on the thickness of the panel and the type of core material that is used.
Static R-Values, like those included in the chart, rate the effectiveness of insulating material. However, they do not accurately describe how products perform in a real world setting. When fiberglass or other types of insulation are installed, they are installed around structural members made of wood or metal that have very poor insulating value. Field-installed insulation materials are also prone to installation imperfections.
Whole wall R-Value tests showed the following R-Values for InGreen versus stick-framed buildings:
