Looks like cellulose got an R-value increase
I was just looking over the list of different material's r-values on a site I like to go for for r-values:
ColoradoENERGY.org - R-Value Table I happened to notice that loose cellulose is now rated at 3.6-3.7! I thought it used to be 3.2. Apparently a study was done and it found cellulose to be better than before. They also tested dense pack which got a little boost too to 3.8-3.9. Here is the study that was done: http://www.coloradoenergy.org/procor..._Truncated.pdf Looks like we now have yet another (or a better) reason to go with cellulose.
