Abstract
As an insulation produced from recovered wood fibers, cellulose insulation is an inherently sustainable energy conservation materials that has other significant environmental benefits, including low embodied energy and productive use of waste paper, one of the largest single components of the waste stream. This papers describes the recycling potential of cellulose insulation, the latest instalaltion techniques and cellulose-insulated assembly designs, new standards and guidelines, and code requirements for cellulose inisulation and cellullose- insulated assemblies. Specifically covered are newprint production and recover statistics, low-added moisture wall cavity spray products, dry methods for insulating walls, stabilized cellulose, recent changes in ASTM standards, CIMA installation guidelines, building code treatment of cellulose insulation, current trends and issues.
