The YWCA Residences in Methuen, Massachusetts use TimberBoard continuous exterior insulation as part of a 48 unit affordable senior housing development designed for comfort, resilience, and long term performance.
The project pairs durable, vapor open wall assemblies with a carbon storing insulation material, reducing the project’s overall environmental footprint.
Wood fiber insulation stores the carbon captured during the tree’s growth for the life of the building, a benefit that adds up at this scale.
