[Greenbuilding] Polyiso strength on roof

[Gennaro Brooks-Church - Eco Brooklyn]

Although the greenwashing on EPS is strong. It has huge amounts of embodied
energy. I have not done the calcs (vs. wood and cellulose for example) but
that very large amount of embodied energy needs to be mentioned and taken
into account.

   - Cellulose: 600 BTU
   - Mineral wool: 2,980 BTU
   - Fiberglass: 4,550 BTU
   - Polyisocyanurate: 14,300 BTU
   - EPS: 18,000 BTU
