Summary	Typical and most often used exterior insulation consists of foam boards (various types, i.e. polystyrene or Styrofoam, polyisocyanurate) that are glued to the exterior wall using a vinyl adhesive and the new exterior surface is finished with a water resistant vinyl-cement coating that can be colored, molded and textured similarly to stucco. The objective of this project is to prove that exterior insulation is a cost effective technology that if installed in Navy facilities will help the Navy meet its energy reduction goals. Exterior insulation should reduce energy use without any maintenance issues and with a simple payback of less than 10 years.
