A new life cycle analysis comparing spray foam with other conventional types of non air sealing insulation evaluates spray polyurethane foam’s (SPF’s) lifespan pollution footprint using carefully modeled virtual homes. When the right blowing agents are used in SPF production, the estimated savings in energy use rapidly compensates for the production phase.

Created by Oracle in collaboration with curators, ‘Future of Energy,’ aims to help visitors better understand how they use energy, ways to conserve it, and their role in building a clean energy future. On view through July 6, 2022, “FUTURES” is the Smithsonian’s first major building-wide exploration of the future.
Climate and resource protection are some of the most pressing issues for our future world. There is a common misconception that building materials—such as polycarbonate translucent panels—cannot be sustainable.
The quality of education and student wellness is linked to the design of the built environment. Floors play a significant role in supporting healthy educational environments.
