At R3.6 to 3.8 per inch cellulose insulation is considerably better than most mineral fibre blowing wools, but R-value is only one factor in the energy efficiency of a home. Studies of actual buildings regularly show that cellulose-insulated buildings may use 20% to 40% less energy than buildings with fibre glass, even if the R-value of the insulation in the walls and ceilings is identical. One reason for this is the capacity of cellulose to stop air infiltration.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
