Nonresidential Building Shell Program
Save some green by making upgrades to your buyilding shell – it makes good business sense. Inadequate insulation, air leakage, and poor-performing windows and doors can be causes of wasted energy at your business. Insulation is measured in R-value – the higher the R-value, the better the insulating property. The lower a product’s U-factor, the lower the amount of heat loss and the better a product is at insulating a building. Consider the following benefits of upgrading your building shell:
- Comfort is improved year round
- May significantly reduce heating and cooling costs
- Saves natural resources
- Helps with sound proofing
