Scarsdale High School
Project Overview
The Scarsdale High School renovation was part of the district’s school-wide energy efficiency initiative to improve building performance and reduce energy consumption. In addition to upgrades made to the lighting and HVAC equipment, detailed building envelope analysis identified significant heat loss thru uninsulated concrete roof panels and air leakage at the roof/wall transition. To control air leakage and insulate the roof panels, Staycell ONE STEP® 502 intumescent spray foam insulation was applied 2” thick to the sloped portions of the roof sealed to the top of the masonry wall.
Staycell ONE STEP® 502 is the ideal product for this application as it provides efficient thermal insulation, moisture/condensation control and air infiltration control in a single product.
