Multiwall polycarbonate is an extremely versatile glazing material with high impact strength, excellent thermal insulation, and long-term light transmission. Compared to glass, it is much lighter and easier to handle, offering considerable savings in transportation, labor, and building costs. This course examines how multiwall polycarbonate systems can improve thermal energy efficiency and increase daylighting within a space, enhancing occupant productivity, health, and well-being.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Describe the manufacturing process of multiwall polycarbonate and explain how thermoplastic materials can be recycled, thereby reducing production waste.
• Discuss the high strength-to-weight ratio that makes it lighter to transport and easier to handle, and requires less structural support, resulting in fuel, labor, and material savings.
• Explain how multiwall polycarbonate's high resistance to impact provides occupant and building protection against vandalism and storm damage, offering increased safety and structural integrity.
• Identify how multiwall polycarbonate improves thermal efficiency, increasing occupant comfort and well-being.
• Discuss how multiwall polycarbonate creates soft, diffused, even natural daylight, which facilitates increased occupant health and productivity and results in more comfortable interior environments.
