The AIRFLOW Insulation System is designed to provide up to a 50% reduction in utility costs while meeting California Energy Commission C.E.C. requirements for High-performance Attics. Its innovative air channel design cools the roof surface by drawing air from the eave and venting it out the ridge, preserving shingle life and providing insulation in summer as well as in winter. Installation is lightweight and easy, requires no special tools, and meets the venting requirements for above-roof deck insulation without needing an extra layer of OSB or CDX Plywood. It also offers a Class-A Fire Rating, is Title 24 compliant, and is ICC-ES certified. The AIRFLOW system also offers up to 50 degrees reduction in attic temperatures, and effective sound insulation, especially around freeways and airports.
ENSOLCOMP's revolutionary Patent Pending Built-in "AIRFLOW" channel ventilation technology is revolutionizing the way we build to live - it continuously draws air from the eave and vents it out the ridge while creating an unrestricted, unobstructed perpetual cooling airflow, reducing heat and cold energy flow into an attic plenum at 4x the rate of standard asphalt shingles alone. This ingenious technology is changing the way we build to live™
Furthermore, tests confirm that temperatures are reduced up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. This directly reduces the energy load and improves the performance of heating and cooling distribution in unconditioned spaces of a structure. Research shows that electricity demand for cooling increases by 1.5–2.0% for every 1°F. (0.6°C) increase in air temperatures starting from 68 to 77°F. (20 to 25°C).
The result equals a reduction of utility costs of up to 50% in the summer and winter months. The two-inch EPS foam construction also reduces sound transmission from outside, particularly in areas near airports and freeways. The ENSOLCOMP never loses its R-Value insulating ability, is water resistant, and provides a lifetime of insulating performance.
