[Greenbuilding] embodied energy was Polyiso strength on roof (ErgoDesk)

[Frank Tettemer]

Chris Magwood, from the Endeavour Centre, *endeavour*centre.org/,
has written a comprehensive article that was just published in Home 
Power magazine which creates a viable summary of assessment of building 
materials. It is definitely worthy of our discussion group.

He also has a fine book, Making Better Buildings, that eshautively lists 
and annalyzes embodied energy,"from harvesting raw ingredients to 
manufacture, transport, and use, to waste and disposal issues."  If you 
can't buy the book, then the five page magazine article sums it up quite 
well:
