CEC urges more use of cellulose during high drama demo.As part of its environmental education outreach Education outreach is a variation of Cause Marketing and/or Strategic Philanthropy and other focused Public Affairs activities that are specific to education. These programs may include:
The event featured mroe than its share of drama when cellulose's fireproof fire·proof adj.

Verb 1. property was dramatically demonstrated when a blowtorch was applied to the material by one of the event participants, The cellulose failed to ignite and the demonstration served as a reminder that, although cellulose is made from recycled paper, it is chemically treated to provide superior fire resistance. Among the dozen who watched a demonstration of the green, high performance process of damp pray technology were Kerry Zucker, Amy Lee and Daughtry Cartstarphen of Edelman Sultan Knox Wood, Suzanna Tharian of P.M. Architecture PC, and independent practitioners Carlos A. and Kenneth Mieles, Danalys Guzman, Kyprianos Lambiris, John Singh, Wylie Goodman and Amy Lee. Also attending were Stephen Starensier, Director of Real Estate Development for Hope Community Inc., and Otto Wolfgang and Zydnia Nazario of the New York City New York City: see New York, city.

Assisting CEC with the demonstration was Bill Holstrunk, technical manager of National Fiber Co., an AIA-approved instructor enabling participants to earn a credit in AIA's Continuing Education continuing education: see adult education. continuing education or adult education Any form of learning provided for adults.

"We are urging wider use of the damp spray technology because cellulose is a recycled, environmentally friendly material offering superior thermal barrier properties," said Richard M. Cherry, president of CEC, New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States.

"Damp-spray cellulose insulation furthers CEC's mission to promote green processes and materials in the New York construction industry." Cherry noted that stabilized, chemically treated cellulose is commonly specified in upstate New York Upstate New York is the region of New York State north of the core of the New York metropolitan area.

Were it an independent state, it would be ranked 13th by population. and elsewhere in the nation, but it is relatively unfamiliar in the metro New York marketplace, a condition that CEC wants to redress. "I think the fact that cellulose is made from recycled paper worries some people from the standpoint of fire resistance," said Cherry. "However, as regulations and standards for the material spell out, cellulose is chemically treated to provide superior fire resistance as compared to other insulation materials." Cellulose's fireproof property was dramatically demonstrated when Hulstrunk applied a blowtorch to the material and failed to ignite it. Cherry said his organization was planning to offer further seminars on damp-sprayed cellulose and other green building strategies. |
