Benchmark Foam 100% recycled eps360® foam insulation.

Benchmark Foam has always been mindful of the environment. This commitment led to its development of eps360®, a 100% recycled expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam insulation product.  Contributing to green building, Benchmark has been producing this product for applications such as perimeter, sub-slab and roofing insulations.

Now Benchmark Foam’s eps360® insulation has been chosen by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for use in the Passive House display at its 2011 Minnesota State Fair Eco Experience exhibit (August 25 – September 5).

The Passive House will model a building with an extremely reduced heating and cooling system. This is possible through the use of super-insulated walls and highly efficient windows that prevent heat and cold from transferring between inside and outside. According to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, “a certified Passive House is required to meet vigorous energy-use standards and requires that several passive and active energy reducing strategies are used and work in harmony with each other.”

Benchmark Foam’s eps360® will be used as part of the building envelope insulation that will help seal the Passive House that must retain a great percentage of heat during winter cold, while also remaining cool during the summer heat.

Using Benchmark Foam’s 100% recycled eps360® is a smart way to build green in order to realize ongoing energy savings throughout the life of a building, whether residential or commercial. Durable and capable of indefinitely retaining R-value, it can be used wherever most regular EPS foam insulation is installed.
