Energy-efficient building codes have emerged as a cornerstone of sustainable construction, driving the industry towards a future of reduced energy consumption and minimized environmental impact. These codes mandate stricter energy performance standards for new buildings, encompassing insulation, HVAC systems, windows, and overall design.
The Benefits of Energy-Efficient Building Codes
- Reduced Energy Consumption: Energy-efficient homes and commercial buildings require less energy to heat, cool, and operate, leading to lower utility bills for occupants.
- Lowered Carbon Footprint: By decreasing energy consumption, energy-efficient buildings contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
- Enhanced Property Value: Energy-efficient properties often command higher property values due to their lower operating costs and environmental benefits.
- Improved Indoor Comfort: Energy-efficient homes provide more consistent indoor temperatures, reducing discomfort and improving air quality.
- Increased Resilience: Energy-efficient buildings are better equipped to withstand extreme weather events, enhancing their overall resilience.

INDEVCO Building Products: Pioneering Sustainable Building Solutions
INDEVCO Building Products is committed to providing innovative solutions that align with these energy-efficient building codes.
Barricade Building Products:
- Barricade® Thermo-Brace® SIB is a revolutionary structural sheathing panel that seamlessly integrates insulation, water resistant barrier, and air barrier technologies all along a structural sheathing panel. This innovative product streamlines construction, reduces energy consumption, and enhances building performance. By combining structural support, thermal efficiency, and weather protection into a single solution, Thermo-Brace® SIB helps builders meet and exceed energy codes while creating more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings.
- Barricade Building Wraps offer more than just protection; they’re a strategic investment in your building’s long-term performance and energy efficiency. By creating an airtight and water-resistant barrier, these wraps minimize air intrusion, leading to lower energy bills and a healthier indoor environment. They also extend the building’s lifespan by shielding it from the elements, reducing the need for costly repairs and replacements. With their superior performance and ease of installation, Barricade Building Wraps are the smart choice for builders seeking to create sustainable and energy-efficient structures.
By incorporating these high-performance products into their designs, builders and contractors can create buildings that not only meet but exceed energy-efficient building codes, contributing to a more sustainable future.
As energy efficiency standards continue to evolve, INDEVCO Building Products remains at the forefront of innovation, providing solutions that empower the building industry to create more sustainable, energy-efficient, and comfortable spaces.
