Our insulation will be fiberglass. I didn't want to use fiberglass but we are restricted by budget. Luckily fiberglass has come a long way. They now make a formaldehyde free product that is the mainstream choice among subcontractors. It is called Greenguard. They carry it at Lowe's! Fiberglass is also encapsulated now, so less is flying around in the air when it is installed.
We are going to vacuum the interior walls prior to installation so there is very little dust left behind the drywall. The subcontractors are being instructed to make sure they fill every nook and cranny and to NOT compress the insulation.
We are also asking them to use a Green certified, low VOC, Formaldehyde free caulk and foam. I'm waiting to hear if they found it - OSI Green Seal is the name.
