Get Serious About The Savvy Use of Weatherization Assistance Program Dollars

We know that high performance windows and insulating drywall have generally not played a major role in WAP. Serious Materials works closely with leading local action agencies, States, and the DOE and others to help ensure the full and proper consideration of high-performance, low cost windows, and to assist with analysis and other support in crafting effective, economic implementation measures.

Improving the energy efficiency of low-income homes with the use of Serious Materials’ products can save taxpayers billions of dollars in energy costs each year and create new green collar jobs that will help the economy and our environment.

Serious Materials can help you:

• Scale up rapidly
• Assess a more complete range of cost-effective measures, and not just
  lowest cost items
• Ensure that the WAP audit tools accurately represent the cost and performance of currently available efficient technology and services
• Revise State and agency WAP plans and agreements where necessary

Serious Windows™
Saves more energy than any other window.  Period.
Windows are the biggest source of heating and cooling energy loss in homes.  Up to 40% of heating, ventilation and air condition costs are lost through inefficient windows.  With full frame R-vales of R5, SeriousWindows can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 49%.

ThermaRock™
Super-insulated drywall to reduce energy costs by up to 30%
ThemaRock is the first insulating aerogel drywall that reduces a building’s energy use for operations and offers a simple solution to insulate walls in constrained locations.  Standard gypsum drywall provides little thermal insulation, with an R-value of about 0.5.  ThermaRock panels deliver R-values between R-2.5 to R  -4.1.  Adding one layer of ThermaRock to an existing exterior wall can substantially reduce energy cost and improve occupant comfort.
