Taking the Lead in Building Science

Johns Manville has been among the first to recognize the growing need for more high performance buildings. From building owners, builders and occupants, there is increasing demand for operational efficiency in a healthy, productive environment.

Building Science addresses not only the immediate impacts of building operation, but the long-term and environmental effects as well. This includes the full lifecycle of the building's materials, integration and ultimate reuse or disposal. JM designs products to enhance the interior environment as well as contribute to the sustainability of the structure.

JM Building Science at Work

Johns Manville has created a variety of products and services that expand the practice of Building Science.

Cool roofing products that reduce energy costs and mitigate the "urban heat island" effect of development.

The only complete line of Formaldehyde-free™ fiber glass building insulation that improves indoor air quality while it saves energy and controls sound.

Energy conservation and acoustic comfort solutions for air handling systems and commercial interiors.

Insulation with more certified post-consumer recycled content than that of other major fiber glass insulation manufacturers.

Research and engineering support in partnership with other building product manufacturers to develop more sustainable, better performing interior finish materials.

Programs that teach architects, specifiers and builders about products and methods that conserve resources, lower costs, enhance the built environment and preserve the natural environment.
