The Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association (PIMA)<\/a> announced that it has signed on as a Kilowatt Level sponsor of Appalachian State University<\/a>‘s entry to the Solar Decathlon Europe 2014.<\/p>\n

Appalachian State University (Appalachian) is one of only three U.S. universities selected to participate in the prestigious Solar Decathlon Europe 2014, an international competition inspired by the U.S. Solar Decathlon that challenges student teams to design and build an energy-independent solar house. Twenty projects were selected for the competition out of a total of 44 candidacies from 23 countries.<\/p>\n

“Using effective and accessible products in Maison Reciprocity such as polyiso, allows our team to dramatically improve upon the beloved row house typology without radically changing the norm in terms of products and systems,” says Appalachian State University Graduate Construction Manager, Scott Hopkins. “With a continuous layer of polyiso wrapping the building envelope, we can let more natural daylight into a traditionally long, narrow row house without sacrificing thermal performance.”<\/p>\n

Appalachian is partnering with the University of Angers in Angers, France. The collaboration, dubbed Team R\u00e9ciprocit\u00e9, will present their energy plus house design, Maison Reciprocity, in Versailles from June 27 through July 14, 2014.<\/p>\n

Team R\u00e9ciprocit\u00e9 is committed to utilizing affordable solutions and practical, technological alternatives, such as polyiso insulation, to ensure that Maison Reciprocity remains highly sustainable throughout its life cycle. Using cross-laminated timber (CLT) as its primary structural system, Maison Reciprocity will be designed in modular, panelized components that may be flat-packed for easy transport and shipping.<\/p>\n

“Maison Reciprocity will feature the latest in building systems technology as well as incorporate one of the most energy efficient insulation products available today, polyiso,” says Jared O. Blum, president of PIMA. \u0093With the highest R-value per inch of any insulation product, and the only on that is third party certified, polyiso will be a critical component in this Solar Decathlon Europe entry.<\/p>\n

“Our sponsorship underscores the polyiso industry\u0092s commitment to net zero energy buildings \u0096 where the future of construction lies,” adds Blum.<\/p>\n

Maison Reciprocity will be scalable to fit the needs of different sites, communities and owners while remaining energy independent. The final product will be a re-imagined row house, consisting of multiple stories and units.<\/p>\n

“Using effective and accessible products in Maison Reciprocity such as polyiso, allows our team to dramatically improve upon the beloved row house typology without radically changing the norm in terms of products and systems,” says Scott Hopkins, graduate construction manager for Maison Reciprocity. “With a continuous layer of polyiso wrapping the building envelope, we can let in more natural daylight into a traditionally long, narrow row house without sacrificing thermal performance.”<\/p>\n

PIMA member Atlas Roofing Company<\/a> is also a sponsor of Team R\u00e9ciprocit\u00e9\u0092s entry, Maison Reciprocity. Atlas Rboard is the main insulation throughout the house with four inches of Atlas Rboard polyiso being used as continuous insulation over CLT and stick frame walls.<\/p>\n

The Solar Decathlon Europe will be will take place in France, neighboring the spectacular Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles June 27 to July 14, 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
