[PRWeb Jan 10, 2008] http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/1/prweb614021.htm Thu, 10 Jan 2008 12:09:17 -0800 podcrew@extrahoop.com BASF demonstrates once more that innovative chemistry is the underpinning of sustainable homebuilding, providing materials and technical support for the National Homebuilder Mainstream GreenHome™ -- a demonstration home created to provide a lesson plan for mainstream sustainable building. The project is being led by Cherokee, the leading investor in the sustainable redevelopment of brownfields. "We invited BASF to participate in this project because we were looking for a partner who understood sustainability from an inner core, corporate culture perspective and participated in the manufacturing of products that are key elements of the building science needed to establish a methodology for mainstream green homebuilding," said Jonathan Phillips, Senior Director of Cherokee. "We believe that the scientists at BASF are clearly ahead of the curve in this area." For this project, BASF chemistry enhanced products, including BASF COMFORT FOAM spray-applied insulation and air barrier; CHROMIX Admixtures for Color-Conditioned Concrete; Sherwin Williams Duron Low VOC paints; and Styropor expandable polystyrene insulating foam. The National Homebuilder Mainstream GreenHome will serve as an idea laboratory for thousands of homes on remediated Cherokee properties, as well as for the building industry and public at large. It will produce more energy than it demands for operational use; be made from building materials that limit air pollution during material transportation; maintain healthy indoor air quality; reuse and reduce the need for water; and will have minimal impact on the environment. "We believe that environmentally-conscious building practices go hand-in-hand with durability, energy efficiency, speed of construction and affordability," said Jack Armstrong, manager of Building and Construction Markets for BASF. "Our participation in the Mainstream GreenHome is one more component of the BASF Better Home, Better Planet™ effort designed to educate builders and home owners about the advantages of high-performance construction technologies used to build both high-end custom homes, as well as affordable homes like the ones currently under construction in devastated areas, such as post-Katrina U.S. Gulf Coast and post-tsunami Sri Lanka." Other BASF Better Home, Better Planet projects include the BASF Near-Zero Energy Home; BASF High-Performance Philadelphia; BASF Rensselaer Wildlife Refuge; and projects in China and India, to name a few.

Through interactive animated vignettes, visitors learn about the benefits of living and working in a community that is optimized by BASF chemistry. These benefits include affordability, energy efficiency, resistance to natural disasters, environmental responsibility, healthier indoor environments and design freedom. “Because BASF has such a wide portfolio of products that serve all sectors of both residential and commercial building and construction, we are uniquely qualified to provide tangible solutions backed by science to improve the performance of structures such as homes, office buildings, tunnels, and bridges and highways,” says Jack Armstrong, Manager of Building and Construction Markets for BASF. He continues, “Used in concert, these improved materials produce entire communities that out-perform the traditional neighborhood.” Visitors to the site can also choose to learn more about improvements to applications including the building envelope, heating ventilation and air conditioning systems, concrete and infrastructure technologies, coatings that provide weather resistance and aesthetics, renewable energy systems, pest resistance and landscaping materials, as well as advancements in low voc (VOC?) construction materials that increase indoor-air quality. A selection of success stories, white papers, relevant news and current events are available as well. Information and links about the specific businesses within BASF that contribute to the high-performance community are provided. These divisions include BASF Canada, Chemical Intermediates, Construction Chemicals, Engineering Plastics, Functional Polymers, Industrial Coatings, Performance Chemicals, Professional Pest Control, Polyurethanes and Styrenics.
