"R" Fairy Tale (This is a MUST READ!)
The Myth of Insulation Values
http://www.monolithic.com/plan_design/rfairy/

SPRAY-FOAM Insulation

"...sprayed-in-place polyurethane combines R-value, an effective air barrier, and vapor control in one material"

Prepared by 'The Journal of Light Construction', 5 pages/154K

Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) and Cathedral Roofs & Cathedralized Attics

"This configuration controls the entry of moisture-laden air into the insulation and also eliminates dew-point occurring at the underside of the roof deck and anywhere in the insulation..."

Prepared by 'Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance', 6 pages/218K

Mold

"Mold can grow on wall surfaces with moisturecontent as low as 15 percent."

Prepared by Builder Magazine, 4 pages/968K READ ONLY FORMAT

Spray-in-Place Polyurethane Foam Insulation

"... spray foam insulation is a superior insulation product that overcomes several disadvantages of other insulation products. Spray foam can provide a more uniform, consistent thermal barrier as well as provide air flow retarder functions."

Prepared by RLC Engineering, LLC., 4 pages/109K

Techniques Tactics & Tips Home Energy Guide

Ice Dams Prepared by Minnesota Department of Commerce Energy Information Center, 3 pages/188K

Insulation Basics

Energy Fact Sheet "Proper installation is as important as how much insulation is installed. Gaps and compressed areas can lower the R-value over 30 percent."

Prepared by Southface Energy Institute, for Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority, 1 page/36K

SPF Building Envelope

"The true performance of your building system can not be measured with the R-value of the insulation alone, but must also consider air movement, moisture control, health, safety, durability and comfort as well as energy efficiency."
