Energy Reduction
The Global Perspective
As a nation the U.S. is confronted with a rapidly changing energy situation, due to declining worldwide oil reserves, rising energy demand, and growing signs of severe global warming. Globally, commercial and residential building construction and operation consume no less than 30% of electricity and 40% of resources, a larger though less polluting energy appetite than transportation. Until now Americans have lived largely unscathed by this reality, but our buildings are consuming more electricity than ever, while demand for electricity is growing more than ever..[read report]
In these circumstances, we at Prime Energy Group believe that it is always better to reduce our demand for energy, than to continue blindly searching for a new source. This is where Thermal Engineering Analysis, Spray Polyurethane Foam, and the EnergyWise Guarantee come in.

The EnergyWise Guarantee
By taking a “systems-approach” to energy flows in the house, EnergyWise optimizes all systems to drastically reduce energy loss and wastage.
Installing spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation into your home will turn the building into a thermos, creating an airtight and energy efficient space. Maintaining constant temperature and humidity within such a sealed space is drastically more energy efficient, and combined with HVAC optimization will guarantee energy reduction of 50-70%.
Spray foam has proven to be a much more efficient heat and air barrier than conventional materials such as fiberglass and cellulose. It takes a full 24 hours of constant temperature before SPF becomes heat saturated, whereas fiberglass takes a mere 3 hours. Once saturated, any insulator significantly drops in effectiveness.
SPF Heat Loss Reduction
With only 2 inches of SPF, heat loss is already shown to be reduced by a full 90%! If every building were to install SPF insulation, energy demand could realistically be cut in half in just a few years.
See Spray Foam Insulation for details and pictures of SPF in action!
Having developed its thermal engineering analysis methods and technologies on early NASA spacecraft, EnergyWise is so well established in its energy reduction services that it will literally GUARANTEE your energy reduction of 50-70% for two years.
