[Greenbuilding] SIPs Revisited--What about Agriboard?

Wed Aug 23 12:11:15 CDT 2006

Greetings, Greenbuilders!

I just went over the 2005 thread on this list regarding SIPs, which was very informative, however...

Has anyone had any experience with AGRIBOARD--structural insulated panels that use compressed straw instead of plastic foam cores? They may be using soy-based adhesives by now (the 2005 GreenSpec Guide says they were intending to switch).

Also, any low-down on OSB--is it bound with nasty offgassing toxins?

Many Thanks!

Mary
