Insulating a Commercial Building with Spray Foam
Dr. Energy Saver was called out to help the owner of a commercial building cut down on heating and cooling expenses, by making the building more energy efficient. This particular structure was fully built with metal, and as we all know, metal is the most thermally conductive material in existence. The building did have an estimated R-11 layer of fiberglass insulation applied to the walls, but since the bats were pinched around the beams, the R-Value in these areas was close to zero. That creates gaps in the insulation blanket where the potential for energy loss is very high. To make matters worse, the structure was also very leaky. Dr. Energy Saver energy conservation specialists solved this problem by applying a thick layer of spray foam insulation on top of the existing fiberglass batches. The spray foam expands when applied, closing thermal gaps around the beams and air sealing the whole structure.
Whether it is commercial or residential building, Dr. Energy Saver will always evaluate each job individually and thoroughly, and design a customized energy saving solution to give customers the best results per dollar invested.

Improving Energy Efficiency in a Historic Building, Insulating the Attic and Cathedral Ceiling
Dr. Energy Saver has installed the appropriate insulation to help restore and improve this historic building’s energy efficiency.The Cobb’s Mill Inn building, in Weston, CT is one of the oldest structures in the U.S. and was built before the revolutionary wars. In 1936, Alice DeLamar – one of the most prominent New York, Palm Beach and Weston socialites of her time – opened the Cobb’s Mill Inn restaurant, which over the years, hosted several U.S. presidents and served as the romantic setting for thousands of weddings.
Unfortunately, as time went by and fuel and energy costs began to increase, heating and cooling the place became too expensive. In 2010 the restaurant closed its doors. Dr. Energy Saver helped rescue this historic landmark by helping the current owners lower energy bills with attic and cathedral ceiling insulation, as well as air sealing to keep the conditioned air inside the building. Thanks to this complete energy upgrade, tourists and residents might soon be able enjoy the Cobb’s Mill again.
