- What do you mean when you refer to
a systems approach?
- At FoamRun we oversee both the containment (insulation) and control (mechanical systems) of the home’s indoor environment. By utilizing spray polyurethane foam insulation, we have created an ultra tight building envelope (which is just what we want). The control of this high performance envelope is critical to realizing the benefits of this system. In the past, many HVAC contractors used a rule of thumb approach when calculating the correct heating and cooling system. FoamRun utilizes a proven scientific approach to assure that the building performs optimally. To accomplish this goal, FoamRun takes control of both the insulation and HVAC design and installation. By providing this as a full service, you can be assured that the components work in harmony in your new home.
