Learning Objectives: Discover low embodied carbon insulations. Learn about natural fiber insulation product forms (batt, loose-fill, board). Understand how to measure in-wall performance (R-value + thermal mass + air penetration + vapor permeability). Demonstrate installing to maximize reported performance.
