Seabrook Middle School
Project Overview
The Seabrook Middle 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 air leakage thru the roof/wall transition joints. According to a study conducted by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, air leakage is responsible for nearly 40% of heat/cooling loss in an average building.
To control air leakage, Staycell ONE STEP® 502 intumescent spray foam insulation was applied 2” thick to all perimeter wall/roof joints and transition areas. 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.
System: Staycell ONE STEP® 502 Intumescent Spray Foam Insulation
Application: Air Sealing – Roof / Wall Joint
Location: Seabrook, NH
Project Size: 4,000 square feet
Key Benefits
-
