Non Flammable – Fire Safe Home

Radiant Barrier – A Better Insulation

Steel – It’s the new Smart Green

There Is No Reason For This!!

Conventional wood framing is extremely flammable,

Fires start from outside as well as from the inside!

Oak Knoll fire in Ashland Oregon burned eleven homes in a few minutes.

Some residents did not have time to salvage their cars or anything else

from there home, they lost everything.




Wood framed homes are highly flammable from both outside or inside the home. This fire

started on the outside in afternoon. Thankfully no lives were lost. If this would have happened

in middle of the night would have been different story. Building with non-flammable materials

will solve the problem.

Inergy Homes exceed energy efficiency standards!Houses act like a big chimney. When hot air rises out the roof it sucks cold replacement

air in through the floor and walls. Air infiltration and thermal bridging are the largest loss

of energy dollars for most buildings. These homes are in Reno Nevada.




There are no hot spots or frost melt on this roof. This home was built using Inergy Homes

system, TechShield Radiant Barrier (RBS) continuous exterior EPS insulation. The steel

framing makes the home fire safe, air tight and energy efficient. Average utilities costs, $149 a

month. Inergy Homes exceeds energy efficiency standards!

See below, this is how Inergy Homes does it.

Do you wonder why your utility dollars are going through the roof?

Wall insulation is reduced by the amount of framing lumber used. A 2X6 is R-7, (1.3 R-value per

inch). Conventional wood framed walls are 30 to 40% wood with an R-7. The R in R-Value

means “Resistance” to heat transfer. The code is written for minimum compliance and only states

that the wall cavity must have R-21 insulation, but does not address the total whole-wall R-value.

Conventionally framed walls have poor whole wall R-values.This is an outside conventionally framed wall with plumbing in wall cavity, all built to code.

This is a very difficult if not impossible wall to insulate properly. Energy loses through this

wall and crawl space will results in increased utility bills, both in summer and winter.

Exterior continuous insulation will cure this common defect.

This shower stall is placed on an outside wall of a home built under today's codes. There is no

insulation between the outside wall and warm tub/shower. The building inspector may or may

not catch this error. Even with insulation this wall will still collect moisture due to condensation.

An Inergy Home System stops condensation as well as block heat transfer. Ask us how.

Outside Wall No Insulation

Behind Shower

Six 2X6 all wood framing of windows does not

allow for insulation. Using exterior insulation

would correct this error.




Steel!! The new smart green

2X4 & 2X6 Framing Out

Inergy Homes major components are TechShield (foil faced OSB) Radiant Barrier System

(RBS), and continuous exterior ridged EPS insulation supported by all steel framing. Properly

installed RBS will blocks 80 to 93% of Radiant heat transfer through walls and roof summer

and winter. This system will save money on your energy bills and increase the value of your

home at resale. This system is fire safe, energy efficient and affordable.

Radiant Barrier only –

No cavity insulation required

Sheet Rock application next creates

RBS with a 3 ½” air space.




The TechShield sheathing is installed on all exterior walls and roof. Stud spacing is 24 inches

on center now ready for sheet rock. No insulation in wall cavity is necessary leaving a 3 1/2

inches air space for completing the RS system. Exterior continuous ridged EPS insulation

completes the air tight building envelope. A standard Inergy Home built home achieved a 2.7

ACH50 which is 259% better than Energy Star requirement.

Applying sheet rock creates

the required RBS

3 ½ of air space




This exterior continuous EPS insulation restricts heat transfer that the RBS blocking system

misses. This system corrects out-dated building codes, science and materials, human errors,

and also reduces air infiltration, is fire safe, and has sustainable energy efficiency for the life

of the building. All of this while still being affordable and comfortable to live in. This building

system has been approved by the Oregon Department of Energy.

EPS Continuous Insulation wraps all

exterior walls and stops thermal

bridging and air infiltration.




The Exterior EPS Continuous insulation starts at the insulated footing/slab, and goes up to the

insulated overhang and connects to the insulated roof, completing an airtight envelope. This system

creates a fire safe, long-lasting, comfortable, and energy efficient home. This system far exceeds

building codes is 259% better than Energy Star Requirements. Ask your contractor, architect, or

designer how they can work with us.

The roof has continuous EPS insulation installed over TechShield sheathing completing the

RBS. Next, a layer of sheathing then the roofing of your choice. There are no air vents in

roof making this an air tight envelope

No blown in insulation

This home was built using Inergy Homes system, RBS, continuous ridged exterior EPS

insulation, steel framing, fire safe and air tight and is fire safe. This home is air tight envelope,

no air leaks, no thermal bridging or melted ice spots on the roof. Utilities are all electric and

included heat, A/C, cooking, hot water, bathing, laundry, and a large plasma big screen TV.

The total utilities for this 1550 Sq. Ft. 3BR, 2B home 2010 averaged utillities only $149.00 per

month.

No hot spots, no melted frost, no
