Green Construction Saves the Environment and Money for Homeowners Across the Nation

Green construction is a building approach aimed toward minimizing a structure’s negative environmental impact. Green builders take extra precautions and carefully choose environmentally safe materials in an effort to minimize energy use and building waste or byproducts. Green construction often emphasizes the inclusion of renewable energy sources, locally manufactured materials, energy-efficient windows and doors, and thorough home insulation.

Vital to green construction, energy-efficient insulation installed by trained professionals can dramatically reduce a home’s energy consumption. eShield™ insulation was specially designed for serious green contractors and homeowners. This revolutionary, multilayer, thermal reflective barrier reflects 97 percent of all radiant heat, and when combined with fiberglass, polystyrene foam or other traditional foam insulations, offers the most complete protection from heat transfer in the industry.

Aside from the environmental benefits of eShield™ in green building construction projects, it is also a solution for reducing home energy bills. After a thorough home audit, eShield™ installed together with traditional insulation has earned homeowners energy savings of more than 50 percent. For more added value, homeowners can earn federal tax credits for installing eShield™ insulation. Whether you need insulation for your walls, attic, roofs, basement, or crawlspaces, no foil barrier offers the protection of eShield™.
