" On average about ten to 20% of all the energy that we use in homes has lost or foundation. You may be surprised and know that almost every part of the country is subject to termite infestation. On the energy wise homework -- an interesting product called performed guard which stops heat loss but also controls termites with me today -- Mike Tobin whose president our control. Now what this looks like ordinary piece of EPS foam that's actually on -- of."
" There are so high density product we use it for construction grade -- application such as foundation work and concrete pouring in the earth works so Mike how's this different."
" Well it's construction -- PS insulation we make it higher density. We also put flame retardant which is very important for home construction. And that has higher they'll."
" What is the are well we are ready of this because of the higher density is four point two -- of the -- how does -- work."
" When we manufacture the product we've put in inorganic mineral called. Or used in a lot of products like can I cleaning solution to used in laundry detergent to control bacteria. Keep ordered down in clothing. That's used in baby clothing has. As a flame retardant. Well we've we've taken a -- of that product built it right into the insulation. As termites try to get in to settle or home or move through the insulation to other parts of the structure. And count the glory. It's into there got sterilize is there's dumbing it become incapable of adjusting so they basically started exactly how this assault. It's it's installed in board form we usually do it in or by war. Or foundations systems and it's just late loosely but it ovaries flat. Or area. Has this is this project has gone. Now what about the foundation walls obviously aware too well PI certainly appear in -- areas -- High rate of heat loss. Outside temperature lot colder than what you're doing inside. And it's really important to get the outside edge of you're foundation whether to stem wall -- Model that poured slab insulation on the outside of that into the slab and it really helps to control heat loss."
" Know what about the scene after any special -- know what we ask is just to get the board nice and tightly bonded and that usually takes here -- need. Mike great information thanks for being here. Well performed art as just another example power using off the shelf technology can make homes more energy efficient."
