Types of Insulation for Commercial Projects
Olmstead County and Rochester are in Southeast Minnesota, so our commercial buildings need to meet or exceed Climate Zone 6 insulation requirements.
An R-value represents an insulation material’s ability to resist heat flow. Higher numbers mean the material offers better insulation. Rochester was chosen to represent Climate Zone 6A in a 2021 climate/moisture analysis.
There are different R-value compliance codes for:
- Above-grade
- Mass
- Metal buildings
- Metal-framed
- Below-grade
- Roof above-deck
- Metal buildings with R-5 thermal blocks
- Slab-on grade flooring
- Heated/unheated
Commercial new construction insulation installation and retrofit insulation can include one or more applications:
- Air barrier systems: Creating a reliable air envelope through air-sealing is beneficial to your new construction. This maintains good IAQ (indoor air quality). Air barriers are often critical to the energy efficiency of specialist projects.
- Fiberglass batt: Fiberglass batts are a tried-and-true solution for exterior and interior wall insulation. It’s an affordable but effective option.
- Spray foam: This insulation choice is best for tight spaces with nooks and crannies. It’s great for retrofitting.
- Waterproofing: The moisture/humidity factor is high here, so preventing moisture infiltration is vital. Waterproofing minimizes moisture issues, repels pests, and contributes to better air quality.
