Ken, if you are going to encapsulate a building the white foam should
be just fine.
Just make sure the density is

Am probably going to forgo the foam altogether and just build a
conduit hexayurt frame (modified and larger than what we're currently

Ok, in looking at the outgassing of polystyrene (pink/blue board), I

The "outgassing" hazard might not actually exist in the way commonly

mentioned.
But, they are far superior at rejecting moisture. Dow themselves has a
paper on it.
