Massive Ice Dams and Exorbitant Energy Costs Solved

Retirement facility bombarded with ice dams and insane energy costs

  • 1st Step: stop the air leaks with green soy foam in the soffits.

  • The Green Cocoon installs 4" of green soy foam (closed cell) in the soffit areas to keep out cold air in winter and hot air in summer

 

  • 2nd step: prevent hot air from escaping from the living quarters up to the roof, which casues ice dams and wastes energy

  • The Green Cocoon installs 18" depth (R60) loose-fill cellulose (recycled post-consumer paper treated with mineral borate to attain Class I Fire Rating)

Success!! The facility made it through last winter (a particularly bad one for ice dams) without a single problem, and with dramatically lower energy bills!!!
