Dec. 15th Webcast - How make the right insulation choices

Free Webcast from Building Green

How to make the right insulation choices for your
specific building applications

Date: Thursday, December 15th at 1:00 pm Eastern Time

Cost: Free

Length: About 60 minutes, including a Q&A Session

To help professionals make the best design and material choices for their specific projects (and budgets), BuildingGreen recently developed and released the Guide to Insulation Products and Practices.

The report emphasizes that there are no universal right or wrong answers. Instead, it offers guidance to support appropriate material choices -- as well as best practices -- depending on the project and budget.

On December 15th, BuildingGreen is offering a live webcast in which author Alex Wilson discusses the key findings of this report, and offer guidance on insulation choices -- as well as discussion and background. If you are confronted with choosing insulation in an upcoming building project, you won't want to miss this event.

thinking of insolating it from the inside with that blue sheet insolation that looks like foam and is the size of sheet rock. Is this stuff safe if you leave it exposed? Can it be painted without harming the effect? What about if I want to put it under carpet on the floor?
