Inquiry

Does typical a cellulose insulation product comply with the State of California, DHS, "Practice for Testing ....Chambers" to earn 1/2 a point under Table 24?

Ruling

Cellulose products do not automatically comply with the California requirement. Individual product manufacturers can submit an application for compliance, but without doing the test and having it certified as compliant by CA Department of Public Health, it is not acceptable.A list of compliant insulation materials is provided by the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (another CA state organization) at the following link: http://www.chps.net/manual/lem_table.htm . You\'ll notice that there is a cellulose product from the International Cellulose Corporation on the list.Also, cellulose insulation can be counted as \'recycled content\' and earn 1/2 point for being an EPP.
