In the wake of the green movement, combined with rising energy costs, building sustainability has become an important topic. This course examines how foil-faced polyisocyanurate (polyiso) continuous insulation can function as a multiple control layer, providing a building with an air and water-resistive barrier and a thermal control layer. Additionally, this course reviews building codes and standards for meeting the continuous insulation requirements in steel stud building envelope designs, the benefits of using polyiso insulation in wall assemblies, and how polyiso insulation meets NFPA 285 requirements.

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

  • Recall the key aspects of polyiso insulation that reduce energy consumption, improve indoor air quality, and increase occupant comfort.
  • Identify the factors that affect the performance of the building envelope including thermal, air, and moisture control.
  • Recall NFPA 285 requirements to eliminate the risk of smoke inhalation and increase occupant safety.
  • Interpret the code requirements for energy efficiency in building envelope design and performance.

Approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
