A highly efficient building envelope should meet the most demanding performance requirements and contribute to LEED® credits and net zero energy targets. Presented here are the features and performance benefits of insulated metal panels (IMPs). The course provides an in-depth look at a generic IMP EPD, discusses new LEED® v4 contributions, and outlines how IMPs meet the strict energy performance requirements of current codes and standards.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Describe insulated metal panels (IMPs) and how they are manufactured, and recall their features and performance benefits
- Define Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), explain how it is developed, list some key components of an EPD, and explain the importance of material transparency.
- List the various ways that IMPs can contribute to LEED points earned on a building project including meeting the new LEED v4 Materials & Resource’s EPD category.
- Discuss current codes and standards as they relate to improved insulation for better energy performance.
