Title: energy an health issues of insulation

You can get lots of info from: http://www.buildinggreen.com/features/ins/insulation.html%20convert

 

or the BEES http://www.bfrl.nist.gov/oae/software/bees.html 

 

I've compared cellulose to fiberglass and building favors cellulose and bees favours fiberglass. Mainly due to Life Cycle Cost Analysis. Bees takes the energy used and pollution created during the recycling process from curbside pickup.

 

Let me know what you find out.

Subject: [GBlist] energy an health issues of insulation

I don't know if this is the proper forum for this question -- but I'm researching insulation and would love to find info regarding

1. energy required to create insulative material
2. health issues related to each material
 -- mold for fiberglass
 -- breakdown of formaldehyde based foam insulations

TIA
