Green Build & Design recently published an article on SANCTUARY® by Greenfiber that explains how to achieve reduced air infiltration with cellulose insulation. Not only does SANCTUARY improve ACH compliance and reduce VOCs, it also locks in carbon for the life of the home and mitigates sound by 60%. Check out an excerpt of the article below and read the full version here.

“Air Changes Per Hour (ACH) is a principal factor in indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and building ventilation design, which can help builders and contractors meet IECC standards. Adequate insulation can be key in regulating ACH through proper air infiltration, but standard insulations like fiberglass can leave gaps, and polyurethane foams, while effective at sealing these gaps, can emit harmful VOCs.

While varying options of insulation materials are available, Greenfiber’s SANCTUARY® line of cellulose insulation is a natural product that produces low to no VOCs and is effective in reducing air infiltration within a home. This reduction not only improves ACH compliance but also aids in sound mitigation, which adds to the overall comfort of its residents.”
