Owens Corning (NYSE:OC), a leading provider of innovative
building materials and glass-fiber technology, is delighted to have
been named "Industry Partner of the Year" at the prestigious
EnerQuality Awards of Excellence 2011, held last night in
Collingwood, ON.
These awards recognize leaders in construction who have
demonstrated an exceptional commitment to building
high-performance, energy-efficient, sustainable new housing. The
Industry Partner of the Year Award is a prestigious title awarded
to a company that has made a positive contribution to the building
industry.
"Owens Corning not only provides innovation solutions for the
development of sustainable buildings, but it has made an effort to
educate and advocate on behalf of the industry," said Corey
McBurney, President, EnerQuality. "As the builders are responsible
for nominating a partner, this award truly reflects the ideals of
valued partners. We celebrate their achievements and consider them
the gold standard."
Owens Corning, with the support of Andy Goyda, Market
development Manager, has developed a cost effective solution to
meeting the Energy Star® for New Homes specification with its
FOAMULAR® CodeBord(TM) Air Barrier System (CABS). This innovative
system addresses the three principles of building science (heat
flow, air flow and moisture flow) in an easy to install
application. Because of the system's air tightness it will assist
builders in meeting the next generation Energy Star® for New Homes
standard. Energy Star® for New Homes call for 2.5 air changes per
hour (ACH) at pre-delivery stage (just before keys turned over to
homeowner) CABS comes in at 1.5 ACH at the framing stage. This has
been verified by 3rd party independent blower door testing. Coming
in at 1.5 ACH at the framing stage is a very cost effective system
for builders.
Additionally, Owens Corning has provided solutions throughout
the entire value chain to help builders drive this product forward.
It provides partners with installation training, sales pieces and
advocacy tools, ensuring they themselves are experts on Foamular®
CodeBord(TM) Air Barrier System.
"We are proud of the work we have done to create sustainable
building solutions," said Andy Goyda, Marketing Development
Manager. "It means even more to us that our industry peers have
recognized us as reliable advocates, who provide truly innovative
solutions."
This is the second year in a row that Owens Corning has been
recognized for its outstanding work. Last year it was awarded
"Leader of the Year" for driving the growth of energy efficiency
and green building in Ontario.
