SPFA is currently coordinating with other insulation trade associations (Insulation Industry Association Council) to support the use of insulation for improved building energy efficiency. As part of this outreach effort, the Insulation Industry is sponsoring a series of informational webinars. The first webinar, entitled “Building Energy Efficiency Policy in the Biden Administration” is being offered on Friday, March 5, 2021 at 12:00 PM ET.
The presenter is Kelly Speakes-Backman, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy - U.S. Department of Energy, and Acting Assistant Secretary at the U.S. Department of Energy. In her role, she leads and directs the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, focused on creating and sustaining American leadership in the transition to a global clean energy economy. She will cover the top energy efficiency and renewable energy priorities for DOE, how the agency plans to leverage the private sector to achieve the administration's climate goals, and how the White House Energy Czar will be utilized during the Biden administration.

The Small Business Administration and lenders say they are taking additional steps to improve the Paycheck Protection Program so small businesses can access much-needed PPP funds to help them through the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery, according to sba.gov.

The goal is to increase equitable access to underserved small businesses; assure the integrity of the program; and promote efficient distribution of funds.

Evonik has converted its entire silicone surfactants portfolio available in Europe, to only include low cyclics or low VOC-based (volatile organic compounds) products. After first optimizing its Tegostab silicone surfactants to minimize cyclic siloxane content in 2003, Evonik has continuously enhanced its portfolio to meet the highest global regulatory and sustainability demands.

As we reach the midpoint of the winter season, outdoor temperatures have dropped significantly. When temperatures inside the rig get cold, it can affect the control of your chemical temperatures. This happens most frequently at the proportioner manifold area and exposed hoses that are uninsulated and unheated. While a properly functioning heated hose will deliver correct temperatures at your gun, these other areas can allow the chemicals to get cold. When these chemicals get cold, their viscosity increases and flow can be reduced. This can result in poor spray pattern and foam yield. To resolve this, SPFA has developed a new TechTip showing how to better insulate your equipment for cold weather operation.

SPFA is doing its part to bring awareness of open positions in the industry to our members, partners, and untapped talent pools. For every one of these positions going unfilled it’s an opportunity missed, an extra staffing challenge drawing attention away from other important priorities, or a customer perhaps needing to wait longer than they should have to.
