This manual is designed to assist you in

understanding the R-values that can be

achieved with the installation of ESP Low-E

Insulation.

A common misconception of reflective

insulation is that one standard R-value is

applicable for every application. The

following system R-values you could achieve

are based on test data obtained under

controlled conditions and computer

calculations or the ASHRAE Handbook of

Fundamentals using FTC guidelines. The

system R-values in this booklet were

calculated using tested results from

ASTM C-236 or ASTM C-976 test methods

and calculations from the ASHRAE Handbook

of Fundamentals, as well as computer

calculations. To properly apply the data in this

manual to your specific application we suggest

you consult an engineer or architect.

faith and believed to be accurate,

design, installation workmanship, accessories,

materials or condition of application.

Low-E Advantages 21

The primary function of insulation is to reduce the transfer of radiant energy. The materials that Low-E

insulation is made from are polyethylene and aluminum. Our standard product consists of a micro-cell polyethylene core

that will not absorb moisture, is very flexible and extremely strong and the foam core maintains its integrity when punctured

by fasteners. The exterior surfaces are covered with polished aluminum. Our patented Low-E insulation does have

tested "R" values but more importantly, it’s aluminum surfaces have an emissivity of 0.03, which equates to 97% of radiant

heat being stopped and reflected back to its source.

Most common or conventional insulations do their best to slow down the heat transfer, but no matter how thick they

are, they have limited ability to reflect radiant energy. In fact, they can act like a battery, storing heat, then

re-radiating it. Mass insulations can also store moisture which further reduces their capabilities to resist the transfer

of thermal energy. For these reasons, by mid afternoon in the summer, buildings using only mass type insulation can

become unbearably hot. Even large air conditioning units battle against the odds all day and put a serious drain on

utility companies, not to mention your wallet.

By addressing only "R" values, manufacturers and consumers have ignored the major problem facing insulation

today. You guessed it ... radiant heat transfer. By using Low-E, you can reflect the heat back to the source

Therefore, buildings become more temperature consistent and more economical to operate, no matter what the season.
