Insulation & Envelope Construction Specification Leads — Toronto

Insulation and building envelope materials — spray foam, batt insulation, continuous insulation boards, and air barrier membranes — are specified during the Site Plan Approval stage for most building types. Thermal performance specifications are written by envelope consultants and architects as part of the energy model and building science design. For specification-grade products, engaging architects and envelope consultants during the design phase is essential. For commodity insulation, demand tracks building permit and construction start activity. Cerosk tracks all development application types across the Golden Horseshoe.
