We are thrilled to share another update to Kaleidoscope, our web-based tool that integrates the crucial topic of Embodied Carbon into our design process. Insulation is now a separate category on the tool that allows exploration within the existing assemblies of envelopes and partitions. This addition features 17 kinds of insulation broken into several common categories, including blown, board, and batt.
To share the research with PAYETTE people, the Kaleidoscope Research Team hosted a tradeshow/science fair style event featuring insulation-themed snacks. Samples of insulation were displayed from highest to lowest global warming potential.
