Spray Foam Used To Improve Energy Efficiency of Luxury Apartment Complex
OTTAWA, CA - Located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, the Kanata Lakes luxury apartment complex is one of the newest luxurious complexes to be built within the city. The complex offers residents high-end appliances, swimming pools and state of the art heating and cooling systems. Groupe Lépine, the residential and commercial development company who oversaw the construction of the apartment complex announced in a press release that a key component to the success of the complex's construction was the use of spray foam insulation.
KinLar Insulation was chosen by Groupe Lépine to insulate the project. According to a press release made by Groupe Lépine, they chose KinLar Insulation because, "they are CUFCA certified contractors with the necessary skills and resources to complete a construction project of this scale and complexity." The collaboration between both companies was fueled with the common goal of constructing buildings that will be more energy efficient and less damaging to the enviornment.
"We were delighted to work with such a forward thinking company as Goupe Lépine," said Tod King of KinLar Insulation.
During construction, contractors from KinLar Insualtion sprayed about 4.5 inches of PFSI's Polarfoam PF-7300-0 SOYA, an insulation material made from recycled plastic and SOYA, into the walls. As a result, residents of the Kantana Lakes Apartments will benefit greatly from the foam due to its air and water vapor barrier characteristics. As a result, the spray polyurethane foam will cosiderably help decrease heat loss during the winter and keep the building cool and efficient in the summer exceeding the Ontario building codes by 160% and dramatically reducing energy costs for residents.
According to the press release, with occupancy set to begin in Fall 2011, residents of Kanata Lakes Apartment will benefit greatly from the environmentally conscious approach of Group Léppine and KinLar Insulation for decades to come.
