This insulation system was so advanced, it exceeded the current mandates of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Today, it is the most efficient insulation system on the market. Unlike many builders, Morton Buildings' unique structural design allows plumbing and electrical to be placed between the insulation and the finished wall or ceiling. When a suspended ceiling is used, the HVAC can be placed between the insulation and the finished ceiling. This design means no penetration of the insulation, increasing energy efficiency and insulation performance. . .
