<DIV>This source from Ergo’s link seems pretty authoritative. I was
disappointed not the see eps on the list. It does have xps which I expect
to be much higher carbon footprint than eps because of the price. Still
looking for this comparison. I am surprised that fiberglass is so high. I
am not surprised that cellulose is so low. They compared these based on
R20 square foot. This is fair for conduction performance. However,
fiberglass and cellulose are not air barriers. Therefore, the improved
energy performance from this characteristic of the foam products is not
recognized in this evaluation. </DIV>

<DIV>I was impressed by fire video of plaster eps room. The plaster
installation surely was the major factor in that result. It was still in place
after the fire. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I can see the potential for eps plaster panels that could lend itself to
reconfiguration and long life. This is the Lego model. </DIV>

<P dir=ltr>John...assuming your assessment is accurate, and that any batch of
cellulose has had at least one go-round as Krauthammer columns, then shouldn't
the EE value be halved? If so, then it's still high, but more competitive
against
EPS.</P><BR></DIV></SPAN></DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Greenbuilding
