Hello Everyone:

The Alstonvale Net Zero House, an ambitious 
demonstration project in Montreal and forming 
part of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's 
EQuilibrium Sustainable Housing Initiative, was 
totally destroyed by fire on 2010 May 25.  The 
house was approximately six weeks away from construction completion.

In connection to this event, I am currently 
compiling a detailed list of incidents of fire 
involving polyurethane insulation.

If you have any relevant information, I would be 
grateful if you would forward it to me.  I also 
ask that you diffuse this appeal for information amongst your contacts.

Thank you.

Sevag Pogharian
