HERS^® raters know that continuous insulation (CI) combined with a superior air barrier are essential to a low HERS^® rating.

Until now, constructing homes with continuous insulation (CI) meant increased labor and material costs, thereby discouraging home builders operating in a highly competitive market from adoption of this critical energy saving measure.

This changes with OX-IS.

That’s because OX-IS structural insulated sheathing, provides continuous insulation (CI), a superior air barrier, and an effective water-resistive barrier combined into a single easy-to-install component.

This means, with OX-IS, now home builders can provide CI while actually reducing labor and material costs, giving their clients a far more energy-efficient home that costs far less to operate – not to mention a lower HERS rating that can increase their home’s value as HERS® continues to grow in influence as the leading advocate for whole-home energy efficiency.
