Overview: Why Is Energy Performance of Paramount Importance to Building Owners? As codes tighten and energy costs skyrocket, there is significant and renewed interest in energy performance of buildings. The American Institute of Architects (AIA), The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and Architecture 2030 have joined to support goals that will reduce greenhouse-gas-emitting fossil-fuel energy use by at least 50 percent by 2010, and an additional five percent each year, resulting in carbon-neutral buildings by 2030.

The track record for spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roof and wall insulation is long and positive. This widely specified and installed roofing and building enclosure system provides good insulating qualities and long-term building protection. It is relatively easy to build with, and effective in terms of first and life-cycle costs. Recent events, however, including several major U.S. hurricanes, have revealed the real value of SPF as a safe, sturdy and effective product that endures severe weather better than many other commercially available exterior systems.

The days when heating and cooling costs were a relatively insignificant line item on a building owner’s budget are long gone. Oil prices, though lower than they were earlier in the year, remain high and extremely unstable. Natural gas and coal prices are also on the rise. All of these increases and instability have led to higher heating and cooling costs, and property owners are doing all they can to keep them in check through the use of energy-efficient building materials.

Using a building's central air-conditioning system to cool an office data center can be costly. Installing a precision cooling system or mini-split can also be expensive, and in leased spaces, is usually prohibited. This paper examines the benefits of using portable spot air conditioners as a less-expensive, permanent solution.
