Spray Foam: Contributions to High-Performance Buildings

This course is no longer active.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

Insulation is one of the most critical factors in any high-performance building project. This course provides a discussion on both open-cell and closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF). Basic characteristics, installation practices, insulation performance characteristics, and how SPF contributes to an overall systems approach to energy efficiency and occupant comfort, including how it can contribute to LEED® credits, are addressed in detail.

Prerequisites: No

Course Level: Introductory

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

  • Relate the chemistry of SPF insulation to its fire and thermal performance and code requirements.
  • Detail SPF in walls, roofs, metal buildings, and below-grade construction to provide improved thermal performance and human comfort.
  • Describe how SPF can be used for interior acoustic control and wind uplift mitigation.
  • Recall SPF impacts on indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and greenhouse gas reduction and contributions to green building rating systems.

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