ENERGY RESOURCE-18 September 2007-Aspen Aerogels Introduces New Nano-Based Insulation Product(C)2007 JeraOne - http://www.jeraone.com

Aspen Aerogels today announced a new nanotechnology-based aerogel insulation product designed to boost the energy efficiency of wood- and steel-frame buildings.

Called Spaceloft Insul-Cap, it consists of a 3/8-inch thick strip of flexible, energy-efficient aerogel blanket. The strips are applied onto a building's framing, inside or outside, prior to sheathing, eliminating thermal bridging in which heat travels through the framing and resulting in heating or cooling loss.

According to Aspen Aerogels, the product can save the average homeowner up to $750 per year in energy costs and reduce the average home carbon footprint by several tons per year.
