  Enalasys. The eScan wireless diagnostic system uses a patented technology that collects, analyzes, stores, and uploads performance- and energy-related data from a home or business HVAC system. The system generates a comprehensive report called the GreenNet Certificate, detailing the results for technicians, homeowners, utilities, and government agencies. Real-time data lets technicians identify the corrective actions needed to resolve system inefficiencies. The eScan diagnostic tool is certified by the California Energy Commission and is recognized by the EPA’s Energy Star Quality Installation Program. 877.411.8378. www.enalasys.com.

  Henry Co. Suitable for all climate zones, Permax Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) helps create high-performance walls that improve a home’s long-term thermal performance. Available in 2.0, 1.8, and 0.5 pounds-per-cubic-foot densities, Permax SPF offers an R-value of up to 6.5 per inch of thickness. The material helps with air sealing by filling voids in wall cavities and stud spaces and also helps eliminate wind-washing and convective currents that can detract from a building’s thermal performance. Permeable and non-permeable systems are available to suit wall, ceiling, and attic spaces. 800.486.1278. www.henry.com.

  Owens Corning. Ideal for home performance improvement projects, the EnergyComplete whole-home insulation and air sealing system is GreenGuard certified for indoor air quality. For existing homes, EnergyComplete can be installed in attics, basements, crawlspaces, or in the walls for additions or down-to-the-studs remodels. Installed in two steps, the system uses a foam-based sealant to reduce air leakage and the maker’s familiar Pink Fiberglas insulation for thermal performance. Flexible Seal Technology helps reduce air infiltration by up to 70%, the maker says. www.owenscorning.com.
