If you live or work in a traditionally built home or office building, you know the construction is not energy-efficient. You might feel a draft or be aware that heating or cooling systems are being compromised by air escaping through the floors, ceilings or walls of the building or home. Or, even more telling, you may realize your energy costs are excessively high.

Today's construction is going green and there is an easy, cost-efficient way to join the green movement. Best of all, this conversion will save you money and make your home or office more valuable as well as establish you as a responsible energy environmentalist.

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has established a third party Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating program. This exciting program is the country's leading environmental rating system and deals specifically with residential and commercial green construction. It is no accident that all government building projects now require LEED certifications.

As a member of the USGBC, TerraPass has committed to developing green products that are economically viable, ...
... environmentally efficient and socially responsible. Unfortunately, when building new homes or buildings, most builders have used fiberglass or cellulose insulation. While these outdated forms of insulation may save the builder initial costs, they end up costing the property owner money through inefficiency and wasteful energy practices. These products are viewed as wasteful and usually lower the value of the property.

TerraPass allows the property owner to conveniently seal air leaks with Foam It Green Polyurethane Foam Insulation. Remarkably, each inch of this treatment is rated R-7 and exceeds the R-value of conventional fiberglass by 100%.

Foam it Green spray foam kits qualify as green construction because they halt waste of energy by sealing air leaks and because of the increased R-value per inch and because Foam it Green is made in the U.S. and produced in centrally located Chicagoland Illinois. Reducing the transportation burden of green construction products is highly recommended by the USGBC.

Guardian Energy is so impressed with Terrapass's Foam It Green that each time a spray foam kit is sold, the company offsets at least another 204 pounds of CO2. Now, that is a green commitment!

Once applied and cured, Foam It Green lasts a lifetime. As the product does not retain moisture, it will not tolerate mold and as the product does not settle or sag, it will not need to be replaced.

And, in compliance with sound green policy, the tanks in which your Foam It Green will arrive are recyclable. Simply take the tanks to a steel recycling facility in your area, or take them to a local landfill.

The Energy Star Home Sealing process is approved by the Department of Environmental Protection. Foam It Green is approved as an Energy Star Home Sealing Process. This ringing endorsement has helped to increase sales of Foam It Green and speaks volumes about the environmental significance of the product.

Recent surveys show that real estate companies, builders and developers prefer green construction. With the support of the Obama administration, which is committed to the creation of 5 million new green jobs, it is clear that green construction is the way of the future. A report from the National Association of Realtors indicates that green construction is adding value to properties because energy costs are reduced and green construction is healthier for inhabitants and workers.

If you are seeking to make your property more efficient, a more comfortable place to inhabit and a healthier place in which to reside or work, go green. Use Foam It Green to seal your property, prevent leakage and help reduce your energy expenditure.

Like all Foam It Green consumers, you, will feel good about reducing the energy usage at your home or office, improving the property's value and have the peace of mind knowing that you are doing the right thing. After all, that is why TerraPass developed Foam It Green. Plain and simple, it was the right thing to do at just the right time. Go Green and start with Foam It Green!
