In recent years, the construction industry has adopted standards and practices to use more insulation in buildings. This has been driven by both government and private initiatives to improve building energy efficiency. High-performance insulation is crucial for the achievement of these objectives! This course discusses the physical and performance properties of polyisocyanurate (polyiso) foam board insulation—a commercially-established, cost effective technology that is very useful for the construction of more energy efficient buildings.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- List the basic characteristics and important physical properties of polyiso foam board insulation.
- Describe the track record and market adoption of polyiso insulation in building construction applications.
- Explain the benefits afforded by polyiso insulation when used in exterior wall assemblies.
