Many homeowners are focusing more attention on the societal impacts of the building materials used in their homes. This means greater emphasis on choosing products that are energy efficient, responsibly sourced, minimize waste, and reduce pollution. Choices regarding insulation affect the environment, the economy, and your health and quality of life.<\/p>\n

Environmental benefits<\/h4>\n

Buildings consume a large amount of energy<\/a>, and homes today are built larger, contain more appliances, and rely more heavily on space cooling than those in 1990. Taking measures to improve the home\u2019s energy efficiency has resulted in a reduction of energy use by 21.5 per cent between 1990 and 2010. However, more can still be done.<\/p>\n

Canadian homes contribute over 40% to the nation\u2019s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions<\/a>, and an average household spends $1,963 on energy needs, of which approximately 65 per cent is used for space heating and cooling alone<\/a>. Installing high levels of insulation in all areas of the house effectively reduces the amount of energy required to heat or cool the spaces, and in turn saves money on energy bills and reduces overall GHG emissions.<\/p>\n

Use of Recycled Content<\/h5>\n

In 2015, NAIMA Canada members together used more than 373 million pounds of recycled glass in the production of residential, commercial, industrial, and air handling thermal and acoustical insulation.<\/p>\n

U.S. and Canadian facilities used more than 666 million pounds of recycled blast furnace slag in the production of thermal and acoustical insulation. Since the industry\u2019s recycling program began in 1992, NAIMA members\u2019 plants have diverted more than 52 billion pounds of recycled materials from the waste stream.<\/p>\n

While recycled content is just one indicator of a product\u2019s environmental impact, the survey results illustrate the significant impact that an industry can have through the conscientious use of materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmbodied Energy\u201d and Insulation Products<\/h5>\n

In researching insulation products, you may come across references to \u201cembodied\u201d or \u201cembedded\u201d energy, which is the energy used to manufacture the product. Certain insulation types claim to have the lowest embodied energy. However, these claims should be viewed carefully.<\/p>\n

Refer to third party environmental product declarations (EPDs) for complete information.<\/p>\n

ECONOMIC\u00a0BENEFITS<\/h2>\n

A well-insulated building envelope can save homeowners money on their energy bills and improve the home\u2019s value by offering energy efficiency[1]. In other words, they have more money to spend on other things, such as vacations or a kitchen renovation, and they can feel better about making smart investments into their homes. Not only that, but it helps to protect homeowners<\/a> from rapid, significant energy price increases that could occur in the future.<\/p>\n

The mineral fiber (fiberglass, rock wool, and slag wool) industry produces products for the Canadian market employing directly and indirectly approximately 17,000 people and contributes more than $3 billion to the nation\u2019s economy each year. The industry ships some $600 million worth of product, of which approximately 80 per cent is for the domestic market. The insulation manufactured in Canada supports an additional $1.4 billion in economic activity through installation and construction.[2]<\/p>\n

HEALTH\u00a0&\u00a0QUALITY\u00a0OF\u00a0LIFE<\/h2>\n

Airtight, well-insulated building envelopes with properly vented structures help improve a home\u2019s indoor climate, which in effect improves the inhabitants\u2019 health and well-being.[3] Asthmatic inhabitants could experience fewer asthma attacks, there could be fewer visits to the emergency room, and there may be fewer premature deaths.[4]<\/p>\n
