Insulation

Overall, if pricing is ignored, the star rankings equalize or become 13, 14, and 15, with
fiberglass retaining its highest score among the three. The results incorporate
performance quality factors in order of priority for consumer purchasing decision factors.
Weights of performance qualities were not allocated because the overall star scores
matched up pretty well with the most important qualities, except for thermal.
Conclusions:
1. Insulations are fairly equal in performance when pricing is ignored.
2. Focus on installing it properly and selecting the right type for the job to ensure
effective performance.
3. More Life Cycle Assessments to assess environmental impacts.
4. The health benefits that warmth brings to low income families outweigh the underlying
health risks.
