40% of all energy consumed goes to the heating and cooling of buildings.

The Canadian Housing and Mortgage Corporation (CMHC) determined that insulation placed on the exterior of the wall in steel-frame construction reduces both air leakage and thermal bridging. This, in turn, greatly improves energy efficiency. Lido’s EIFS does just that by placing a seamless thermal blanket where it is most effective – on the outside of the building, helping to reduce energy consumption.

Statistically, Lido’s EIFS reduces a building's energy use by as much as 30%. Plus, the energy required to manufacture EIFS is almost a quarter the amount required to manufacture brick and about half that of stucco. Material transportation costs are also significantly less. In fact, the total carbon footprint of an EIFS-clad building over a 50-year life cycle is about three times lower than stucco and five times lower than brick.
