Whether you are building a new structure or gutting and renovating an existing home/building I think that getting the best insulation for your buck is going to come up at some point.

The new codes are going to include items like heating/cooling system efficiency, CO2 emissions, building envelope analysis including air-tightness, insulation quality, window efficiency and moisture resistance.

It goes over the efficiency of each product from it’s creation to the end of it’s life and the environmental impact during each step during the life-cycle. Enjoy!

More projects in 2009 were LEED certified by the USGBC than all of the prior years COMBINED since inception of the program in 2000.
