StoTherm and Sto Therm NExT Their Effects on Energy Consumption Reduction. By Chris Norris, P.E, P.Eng, LEED AP, CEI. With recent changes in energy codes continuous insulation is now required in six out of eight U.S. climate zones. Air barriers are starting to be adopted on a state by state basis, but are not currently required in most states. This paper presents a study that evaluates the relative benefits of EIFS continuous insulation and EIFS continuous insulation combined with an air barrier over baseline energy code compliant assemblies.
EIMA Executive Summary: Exterior Wall Cladding Performance Study Presents results of key building performance goals for energy efficiency, temperature control and moisture control in mixed, coastal, hot, humid, Zone 3 climates. Conducted during period of January 2005 through June 2007 by researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, US Department of Energy, through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Building Technologies Program and the EIFS Industry Members Association. August 15, 2008 New Codes and Standards Drive Green Building Success – and Future
Sto Corp. LEED® Product Assessment Report prepared for Sto Corp. by Paul R Bertram, Jr. FCSI, CDT, LEED AP July, 2007 Life Cycle Study of Sto Engineered Cladding Systems vs. Typical Brick and Stucco Claddings (Sept 2009) This white paper provides a summary of the findings from a life cycle inventory study performed for Sto by Franklin Associates in 2009. StoTherm NExT insulated wall claddings were found to significantly outperform typical non-insulated stucco and brick cladding systems over a 50 year life span in terms of energy consumed and greenhouse gas emissions. Report provides an assessment of the cost savings that can be achieved by using StoTherm Insulated Wall Claddings versus brick veneer cladding over non-load bearing metal stud framing systems. Sto Guard®: Development of Durability Requirements for Canada and Compliance* - Jan 2007 This report describes testing of StoGuard® for CCMC compliance as a waterproofing and air barrier material as well as its drainage performance under EIFS. The testing proved how durable StoGuard® is even after extreme abuse, outperforming other waterproofing / air barrier materials. The testing also showed how well EIFS with vertical ribbons of adhesive drain, again outperforming all other claddings tested. StoGuard™: Testing for International Building Code Compliance and Comparison to Sheet Water-Resistive Barrier Products - Jan 2007 This report describes testing of StoGuard® for ICC-ES compliance as a waterproofing and air barrier material as well as its performance compared to sheet products. StoGuard® demonstrated excellent performance as a waterproofing / air barrier material and has several advantages over sheet products. Time Study Report Installation Times of Sto Moisture Barrier Products Compared to Competitive Products Prepared by: Jack Greene, Jackson Productivity Research Inc., September 25, 2007 StoGuard®: Demonstration of Hygrothermal Performance through Computer Modelling at Oak Ridge National Laboratory January 2007 This report describes research conducted by ORNL which highlights the effectiveness of StoGuard® as a moisture protection component in wall assemblies. Hygrothermal modelling is used to characterize the performance of 4 wall assemblies in 11 cities over a 2 year period.
