15.
16. Which is the most meaningful test of insulation performance ? Installed System Testing Material Sample Testing OR
17. Which is a best indicator of an energy efficient building? A building with high R-value? OR A building that uses less energy?
18. How is P2000 an efficient insulator “ dead air space” be built into a practical construction material ?
21. We trust the Polystyrene Cup 2 mm of efficient insulation Common R-value testing does not measure its complete performance of other insulation materials like: Thermos Space Suits Polystyrene cup
22. P2000 - Air Tight Thermal Panel Non conductive Reflective Radiant Barrier P2000 Special EPS Non conductive Reflective Radiant Barrier
32. The P2000 Insulation System EFFICIENT Quick & Easy to cut, fit & install Continuous cover application - reduces thermal bridging P2000 addresses conductive, convective and radiant energy transfer Effective Insulator – 25 mm of P2000 out-performs 150 mm of fiberglass GREEN & HEALTHY Alternative P2000 has 20+ points that make it a responsible green product Reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions Healthy for installer & building occupants Healthy for environment (from manufacture to disposal) Does not support mold or mildew growth SAVES Materials, Time & $$$$ P2000 serves as a an insulation, air / vapour barrier and thermal break P2000 multi function capacity saves time & installation cost DURABLE & SUSTAINABLE P2000 does not sag or settle after install P2000’s performance not compromised by moisture P2000 not compromised by aging, off-gassing or compression
