Often the largest access point in a building, sectional door systems play a significant role in controlling energy costs and supporting sustainable design in residential and commercial buildings. This course explores the specification considerations and the different types of sectional garage doors, as well as their role in enhancing the thermal performance of homes and commercial buildings.

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

  • State the importance of a well-designed sectional garage door in terms of energy efficiency, durability, security, aesthetics, and the thermal comfort of the building occupants.
  • Explain the causes of energy loss in buildings and the considerations for the sustainable design of garage doors, including the key measurements of thermal performance, insulation types, air infiltration, sound transmission, and product longevity.
  • Summarize the key criteria for selecting and specifying sectional doors for residential and commercial applications depending on the health, safety, and welfare requirements of the builder, owner, and architect.
  • Discuss how insulated sectional doors can contribute to sustainable design and the regular maintenance steps necessary to maintain the thermal performance of the garage doors.
