Vermilion sits in east-central Alberta's agricultural and oil-and-gas economy, and it's also home to Lakeland College's main campus - a mix of farm operations, oilfield service work and institutional buildings that all need the envelope solved a little differently. Most of the town's housing was built before modern energy codes, so a hard east-central Alberta winter has had decades to find the gaps.
Every building type, one city
- Homes - about 74% of Vermilion housing predates 1991, one of the higher shares SFIA tracks; older rim joists and basements are where the cold gets in. See residential spray foam insulation.
- Commercial and industrial - oilfield service shops, farm-supply warehouses and institutional buildings tied to the college. See commercial spray foam insulation.
- Farms and shops across the district - see agricultural spray foam insulation and shop spray foam insulation.
Closed-cell or open-cell for a Vermilion job
Closed-cell fixes older below-grade walls and the condensation-on-steel problem common in farm and oilfield shops; open-cell is the lower-cost choice for interior walls and sound control in the house. Older stock usually needs both, matched room by room.
