Energy Efficiency for All (EEFA) released two new reports to provide industry experts and contractors the information needed to help make healthier building materials the easier choice. The first study by Elevate Energy provides a case study on the Energy Performance of Chicago Properties Retrofit With Fiberglass Insulation. The second study by Three3 examines Drivers, Adoptability and Performance of Healthier Energy-Efficiency Retrofit Materials in Affordable Multifamily Housing.
These studies are part of EEFA’s ongoing effort through its Healthy Affordable Building Materials (HABM) initiative—involving NRDC, the Healthy Building Network (HBN), Elevate Energy, VEIC, Three3 and the International Living Future Institute—to ensure healthy building materials are part of the energy efficiency discussion.
