Event Description

An overview of the reasons and options for using low carbon, plant-based insulation products and materials. This presentation will help architects, designers, builders and developers understand the positive impacts of using these instead of petrochemical based or highly manufactured materials. Knowledge of basic code requirements for residential construction will be helpful, particularly around energy codes.
 

  • Understand the health benefits of low carbon, plant-based insulation products, which contribute to improved indoor air quality and occupant well-being.
  • Analyze how using these materials enhances safety by meeting stringent energy codes and reducing fire hazards associated with petrochemical-based insulations.
  • Introduce** low carbon insulation options as a cost-effective alternative that not only supports energy efficiency but also promotes social welfare by contributing to sustainable building practices.
  • Articulate the multifaceted functions of plant-based materials, emphasizing their role in creating a healthier, safer, and more sustainable living environment.
