Webinar – Open Cell Spray Foam: Comfort, Compliance, and Code Clarity

Presented by: Cody Wilson, Climate Control Insulation

Spray foam insulation continues to grow in popularity—but how does it really perform when it comes to energy code compliance, building durability, and occupant comfort?

Join us for an engaging conversation with Cody Wilson of Climate Control Insulation, where we’ll explore the practical benefits of open cell spray foam insulation and clear up some of the confusion around its use in residential construction.

We’ll discuss:

• How open cell spray foam compares to traditional insulation materials
• Common field questions about R-values, air barriers, and vapor control
• When and how open cell foam meets (or exceeds) the 2021 and 2024 IECC requirements

Whether you’re an inspector, builder, or energy rater, this session will equip you with the insights needed to evaluate open cell foam projects with confidence.

3 Lessons Learned:

1. R-Value Isn’t the Whole Story: Discover how open cell spray foam can deliver superior performance by addressing both air infiltration and thermal resistance—a key factor in meeting code requirements.
2. Proper Application Is Critical to Compliance: Learn the essential installation practices and inspection tips to ensure foam is applied correctly, safely, and in compliance with the latest codes.
3. Code Flexibility with High-Performance Materials: See how open cell spray foam fits into prescriptive and performance paths, and when it qualifies for trade-offs under the UA or ERI compliance methods.
