We are thrilled to share our latest report, “ The Carbon Story of Cellulose Insulation,” with you.
With its carbon-storing properties and many other benefits, it is no surprise that more builders are turning to cellulose insulation! Thank you, @cimacellulose -Cellulose Insulation Manufacturers Association, for letting us tell your story.
You can read the full report on our website.
If you are curious how much upfront carbon can be saved by swapping to cellulose insulation, be sure to check out our BEAM estimator! It’s an easy-to-use tool for residential construction that can help you quickly model the carbon footprint of your buildings and products to gain clear insights for making informed climate-smart material swaps!
