- •
A fire safety and sustainability screening tool for insulation was developed.
- •
Considered are cellulose, fiberglass, rockwool, polyurethane, and polystyrene.
- •
Evaluated are thermal, fire, sustainability, cost, acoustic, and durability properties.
- •
In a control scenario, closed-cell polyurethane performed best and cellulose worst.
- •
Otherwise, rockwool performed best and extruded polystyrene worst.
