This new one-page resource distills our FACTS Sheet down to five reasons FPIS is a vital solution for building decarbonization.

A collection of helpful FACTS Sheets and Quick Guides for code-compliant applications of foam plastic insulating sheathing (FPIS), this resource was recently updated to reflect the 2024 I-Codes.

This new page was created to provide building officials with streamlined resources for efficient code compliance determination in projects using FPIS. Checklists are also available as downloadable, fillable pdfs. The page includes links to a new FAQ page, as well as a CI Resource Guide for both 2024 and 2021 I-Codes.

The newest addition to the FACTS Sheet Library, this resource works to quantify the energy and carbon saving benefits of foam plastic insulating sheathing (FPIS) by outlining a triple-win solution to building decarbonization with the use of modern insulation materials.

Before specifying a product, approving a building plan for permit, providing a building energy rating, or giving a “pass” on a field inspection, it is important to verify that materials providing the foundation for energy code compliance have a proper basis for any claimed or labeled R-value. Things may not actually be as they first appear. This Quick Guide provides some relevant background and important questions that can assist in ensuring that R-value data for insulation and other building products are valid.

Affordable housing and commercial building construction initiatives often grapple with how best to employ cost-effective solutions without compromising quality or sustainability. This new application page focuses on how foam plastic insulating sheathing (FPIS) can help address this challenge by offering an optimized approach to construction.
