If Nu-Wool stands behind its products so strongly, why don’t other insulation manufacturers?
Program Details: Key characteristics are entered into a computer program that calculates heating loads and the cost of heating based on fuel, weather data, efficiency of the heating system, and the air infiltration factor for the specific house. This data determines the potential energy costs. If the energy bills exceed the guaranteed amount in the first 10 years, Nu-Wool Co., Inc. will reimburse the homeowner 50% of the overage. Builders can use this guarantee as an attractive selling feature to homebuyers. Plus, the Guarantee is transferable if the home is sold in real estate in the first 10 years.

Nu-Wool Engineered Cellulose Insulation vs. Fiberglass Insulation
It takes at least 8,500 BTU’s of energy to produce a pound of fiberglass insulation. Cellulose insulation is produced by processing post-consumer recovered paper through electrically driven mills.
Estimates for the embodied energy of a pound of cellulose vary from 150 to 750 BTU’s. Converting this to BTU’s-per-R, it takes at least 40 times more energy to make fiberglass insulation than to produce cellulose insulation.
