BDDC trainees, Ehsan Behazin and Michael Snowdon with their project "InSoylater" was featured on CBC News on March 25, 2017. They created "InSOYlator" from soy hulls. It's a fire-retardant insulation panel that could replace fire-retardant paints, coatings or additional insulation layers normally used when meeting specific building codes.

The hulls "possess intrinsic thermal insulation properties that are overlooked and not currently used," Behazin said in an email to CBC News describing their product.

The insulation panels are made by fusing hull particles into the surface of a wall or floor boards. The panels are flame retardant and durable, he said.

Their project won first prize in an on-campus competition called Project Soy in the graduate category.
