Provided are photo-curable foam-forming compositions, methods of making and using them, and a dispenser for injecting the foam-forming composition for the insulation of buildings. In one aspect, the present disclosure provides for a method of insulating a surface, such as that of a building cavity with an insulating foam, the method comprising: irradiating a foam-forming composition with light, the foam-forming composition comprising: a polymerizable component (e.g., based on epoxy or acrylate); an effective amount of a photoinitiator; and a blowing agent; and injecting the irradiated foam-forming composition adjacent the surface.

Various examples are related to exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) for building retrofits. In one example, a method includes sensing, by a robotic system, at least one characteristic of an exterior of a building and, in response to the at least one sensed characteristic, adjusting application of insulation or finish to the exterior by the robotic system. The robotic system can include a 3D-articulated robot or other suitable robot that applies the insulation or finish. The robotic system can include a turret or application head configured to sense the at least one characteristic of the building and apply the insulation or finish to the exterior.

A method of generating a building assembly that includes spraying a coating material onto a plurality of pieces of substrate disposed on a first assembly face. The spraying includes spraying the coating material onto the plurality of pieces of substrate via a sprayer configured to apply the coating material to a target surface via a nozzle coupled with a mobile storage container storing the coating material, the coating material impregnating voids of the substrate. The method also includes allowing the coating material impregnating the voids to dry and harden and become rigid to generate the building assembly.
