Another green feature of the Shade House Condos in Houston is the radiant barrier wrap the builders used underneath the exterior. Radiant heat is reflected away by the tin-foil looking material, officially named "radiant barrier wrap."It's most effective when using two layers of the material, with firring strips between it and the foam, inside walls of homes.

I recently saw that LP released some very encouraging data on their TechShield radiant barrier. It can save upwards of 17% on energy costs and reduces carbon dioxide. They also have some interesting green tid bits on their website (www.lpcorp.com/techshield). I thought it was very cool that they are helping folks realize just how innovative and green building products can be! Additionally, for existing homes, LP is releasing a new foil product that can be installed in your attic space for the same type of benefits as their radiant barrier. Cool stuff for new builds and existing homes!
