SharePossible future directions for extruded polystyrene foam insulation.
Author(s) : ABBOTT J. G., MINSKER J. H.
Summary
A quick and available replacement for CFC-type board stock was used in energy efficient construction, this technology was implemented very early in the worldwide effort to replace CFCs. Being quick to respond to environmental concerns, this industry finds itself forced to undergo another quick and expensive change to another chemical. Yesterday's environmental solutions have become today's environmental problems. This situation raises the simple question of timing and individual company's ODP reduction effort as well as the value of energy efficient technologies.
