Some points on spray foam insulation by Amy Albert, Editor of Builder Magazine and Custom Home:

1. Post-Construction performance measurement
2. ICC calls for it
3. Most building inspectors not performing it
4. Foam values vs Batt values
5. Wasted foam since it is measured by R value and gives no credit for air seal or actual performance
6. Post Construction performance measurement would increase a homes efficiency, lessen the cost of using enhanced insulation,
