Exterior Enclosure (B20): Exterior Walls-Fiberglass Batt & Blown

Component Name Component Source Summary: BEES Fossil Fuel Depletion, MJ Criteria Air Pollution, MicroDALY Acidification, mg H+ Eutrophication, g N Habitat Alteration, T&E Global Warming Potential, g C02 Water Intake, liter BEES Weighted Evaluation Generic Fiberglass Batt - Unfaced 07211 Generic Pros: Performs better than mineral wool, lower GWP and air pollutants. Recycled content decreases impacts, except when availability of glass for recycling results in transportation over long distances Cons: Higher levels of air pollutants during production than cellulose. Effects on humans suring production and installation are more severe than cellulose; similar to mineral wool. 0 0.2920 51+ 0.032 0.0000 71 0 Even and comparing fiberglass batts (R-13) to Mineral Wool (R-12) to Blown Cellulose (R-13) Fiberglass Batt - Unfaced 07211 Owens Corning Unfaced PINK fiber Glass Product Data To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined Fiberglass Batt - Unfaced 07211 Certainteed CertaPro™ AcoustaTherm™ Batts -Unfaced Product Data To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined Fiberglass Batt - Unfaced 07211 Johns Manville Grid-SHIELD Rx Product Data To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined Fiberglass Batt - Unfaced 07211 Knauf Fiberglass Batt and Roll Insulation Product Data To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined Generic Fiberglass Batt - Kraft-faced 07211 Generic To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined Fiberglass Batt - Kraft-faced 07211 Owens Corning Faced PINK fiber Glass Insulation Product Data To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined Fiberglass Batt - Kraft-faced 07211 Certainteed CertaPro™ AcoustaTherm™ Batts - Kraft Faced Product Data To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined Generic Fiberglass Roll w/Perforated Polyethylene Wrap 07211 Generic To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined Fiberglass Roll w/Perforated Polyethylene Wrap 07211 Owens Corning Miraflex Roll Fiberglass Insulation Product Data To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined Fiberglass Roll w/Perforated Polyethylene Wrap 07211 Johns Manville Comfort-Therm Product Data To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined Generic Fiberglass Blown 07211 Generic To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined Fiberglass Blown 07211 Owens Corning PINK Fiber Glass Loose Fill Insulation Product Data To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined Fiberglass Blown 07211 Certainteed InsulSafe®4 and OPTIMA Blowing Insulation Product Data To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined To be determined
