This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

Choosing the right insulation is becoming one of the most important decisions in design, construction and retrofit, as insulation has a dramatic impact on the energy efficiency of a building. The use of continuous insulation (ci) construction systems on the exterior of the building is critical in order to design energy efficient buildings. This course reviews the manufacture and use of mineral wool, and its contribution to sustainable buildings as a continuous insulation.

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

  • Recall the advantages and implications of using continuous insulation.
  • Discuss the changes in ASHRAE R-value requirements from 2007 to 2010.
