DAP Web Site Features New "Building Green Living Green" Resource

Energy and Money Saving Solutions for your Home

BALTIMORE, MD (May, 2007) – The new DAP Web page, Building Green Living Green (found at www.DAP.com), is designed to help homeowners, do-it-yourselfers and building professionals learn how to increase energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact by using low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) products during construction and remodeling projects.

Homeowners that visit the DAP Web site and click on the Building Green Living Green section will find "Solutions For Your Home," a useful resource that provides a tool to help select products for use in home improvement projects, information about how to safely use these products in the home and tips on how to improve energy efficiency to save money on heating and cooling bills.

DAP offers a full line of low VOC content caulks, sealants and adhesives that can play a key role in living green by reducing the amount of VOCs released into the air, thereby reducing the environmental impact. DAP caulks and sealants can also improve the energy efficiency of a home by sealing up gaps and cracks where heat can escape in the winter or cool air in the summer. Included on the site is an EPA energy saver house that illustrates common air leaks throughout the home and offers an appropriate DAP product to seal up the home. It also assists consumers in making green choices by suggesting they check VOCs in all home improvement materials, such as paint, carpet and insulation.

Building Green Living Green also serves as a valuable resource to professional builders, remodelers and contractors. They can access "Solutions For The Professional." This Web page provides valuable information on a variety of green building topics, including the codes and specifications for building green, how to select products that can contribute to energy efficiency, and downloadable and printable regulatory forms for manufacturer verification of product VOC content. These forms are key to obtaining eligible tax credits and green building certifications.

The DAP Web site is regularly updated and is a great place to find product information, where to buy, a technical library, expert advice, as well as new products and promotions.
