I am looking for a comprehensive list of residential construction
materials (i.e. plywood, concrete, fiberglass insulation, etc?) that
provides information on each material such as:
? Price (material price along with associated labor and equipment costs)
? R-value or corresponding U-value
? Sound Transmission class (STC)
? Thermal Mass
? Fire Rating
? Embodied Energy
? Regional availability
? Recycle-ability
? And any other comparative quality
The list should contain all traditional residential construction
materials, however I am particularly interested in newer and more
environmentally friendly materials such as: insulated concrete forms
(ICFs), structural insulated panels (SIPs), aerated autoclaved
concrete blocks, and rammed earth to mention a few.
A corresponding list of construction assemblies (i.e. foundation
systems, exterior wall systems, etc?) constructed with the
aforementioned materials, along with the qualities of these
assemblies, would also be helpful. |
