How Much CO2 is Released to the Atmosphere?

04/27/2009 5:06 AM

Curious of the greenness of this application.

Example:

A 5,000 sq ft building with 30' side walls and 4/12 roof pitch. Interior of roof and walls to receive 3-1/2" closed cell 2.0lb spray foam insulation.

What amount of CO2 would be released to the atmosphere at about 82°F as the foam expands?

What amount of CO2 is released anually due this procedure?

Do you have an example in mind or can you make a statement based on the properties associated with the combination of chemicals required?
