Berkeley’s current climate action plan emphasizes energy-efficient home upgrades as part of its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the city’s building codes require new homes to meet energy consumption standards. "USA Spray Me’s" guide says that insulation can help homeowners meet these standards, reducing bills by up to 50% while maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures year-round. However, they will only be able to achieve these savings if they choose an insulation material that has high thermal performance and can act as an effective sealant - properties that polyurethane spray foam has.
As "USA Spray Me’s" guide explains, spray foam has a high R-value, making it more resistant to heat flow than cheaper materials like fiberglass or cellulose; for this reason, it is efficient at minimizing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Additionally, because spray foam expands upon application, it can seal any gaps or cracks in walls or ceilings, preventing drafts from entering the home.
"USA Spray Me" says that another benefit of spray foam is that it can act as a moisture barrier, inhibiting condensation and reducing the risk of mold and mildew - indirectly improving indoor air quality in the process. As a result, it is often recommended for basements and attics, where leaks and fungal growth can be a concern.
Conversely, the guide notes that spray foam has higher upfront costs than other insulation materials, ranging between $1,500 and $4,000 to install, depending on the project’s size. The application process also requires a specialized liquid mixture of chemicals, which can be challenging to control and hazardous for untrained individuals without the proper equipment.
However, spray foam remains effective for up to 80 years and will require minimal maintenance. For this reason, "USA Spray Me’s" guide says that it is worth considering as a long-term investment for custom home construction.
