 Soundbite and Script

ANNOUNCER:

HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING YOUR HOME COOL IN THE SUMMER AND WARM IN THE WINTER?  IT’S NOT SURPRISING WHEN YOU SEE HOW MUCH AIR CAN ESCAPE OR ENTER A HOME.  GORD COOKE, BUILDING SCIENCE CONSULTANT, SAYS AIR MOVEMENT WASTES ENERGY AND MONEY AND SIMPLY ADDING MORE R-VALUE, OR TOPPING UP, WON’T DELIVER PROPORTIONATE ENERGY SAVINGS.

GORD COOKE:

“Instead, what you really want is a material that does two things.  A product like Icynene Spray Foam Insulation which is both an insulation and an air barrier that expands into cracks, crevices and gaps to reduce air leaks. Since it forms an air seal to minimize air movement, Icynene also helps to prevent condensation and the resulting potential for mold growth within walls and ceilings.”
