| | MASONRY BLOCK / CORE FILL / MORTAR JOINTS The Tripolymer® system for masonry block core-fill is the most cost-effective way to increase the thermal performance of this type of construction. The total thermal resistance is more than doubled over conventional insulations. Tripolymer® products can be easily and efficiently installed in new or existing masonry construction, either during construction or upon completion by a pressure fill method. Tripolymer® meets the mandatory requirements and codes for heat loss factor (U value) for wall structures adopted by many State and Federal Agencies. It is important to note that the heat loss is reduced through the mortar joints as well as the block. This is not the case with block inserts. The Tripolymer® system is more cost-effective than core inserts or pour-in products. CMUfoam.com Tripolymer® Injection Foam Insulation HELPING YOU ACHIEVE LEED-NC CERTIFICATION LEED NC Credit Category | LEED NC Requirement | Tripolymer Insulation Contribution | Additional Comments | Energy & Atmosphere-Optimize Energy Performance | 1-19 points depending on percent reduction in energy use based on ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-1999 | Insulation helps reduce building energy demand. Overall contribution dependent on R-value used. | Tripolymer’s R-value of 5.1/inch and its ability to reduce unwanted air infiltration increase the percent energy reduction achievable. | Materials & Resource-Local/Regional Materials | 1-2 points dependent on 20% of all materials manufactured regionally within 500 mile radius of project. Additional point if 50% of all materials are extracted, harvested, or recovered within 500 miles. | Tripolymer injection foam is manufactured onsite comprised of 50% locally extracted materials | Check with local sales representative to determine raw material place of origin. | Indoor Air Quality- Management Plan | 1 point: If option 2 – (air testing method) is used, Tripolymer injection foam will not contribute urea-formaldehyde to the indoor air pollutants. | Tripolymer injection foam is produced from a phenolic resin with no urea- formaldehyde | This is unlike the “Aminoplast” foams which are urea-formaldehyde based |
Note: No individual material enables a credit point to be taken within LEED because each category is dependent on the aggregate of all materials and their proportionate relationship to the total dollar cost of all materials. www.NuViewInsulation.com NuView Insulation, Grand Rapids, MI 49525 616-447-4047 |
