Attic Assembly (Unvented-Conditioned Diagram)

08/23/2009
Icynene is qualified for installation on the underside of roofs without provision for ventilation. Icynene is especially designed for this type of "conditioned attic" or "cathedralized" construction due to its air-sealing capabilities, and the fact that water can move through the foam if it is under pressure. In the event of a roof leak, water can drain straight through the insulation by gravity rather than being trapped against the roof sheathing where it could contribute to roof rot. Upon drying, Icynene returns to its original state without warping or distortion, and effectiveness of the insulation is fully restored.
The Benefits of conditioned (unvented) attics energy efficiency. HVAC equipment located in the attic has shown to generate significant reductions in energy consumption.

Building Science Corporation Letter

07/16/2009
Armin Rudd with Building Science Corporation letter of Recommendation:
By applying non-shrinking spray foam insulation under the roof sheathing, and to gabled end
walls if applicable, the humid outdoor environment is sealed from the cool air distribution
system and other cool interior surfaces. This creates a more durable, healthy, safe, and
comfortable indoor environment. Any space conditioning system heat gain or loss is within the
air and thermal boundary of the building envelope reducing energy consumption.
