For over 50 years, insulated metal panels (IMPs) have supported high-performance building enclosures by integrating thermal, air, vapor, and water control within a single system. This course reviews the building science and fire-safety principles that guide proper IMP use in the building envelope, ensuring occupant comfort and safety. Also examined are standardized test methods for evaluating enclosure performance and comparisons of IMPs with alternative wall and roof assemblies.

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

  • Describe the building-science principles that influence building envelope energy efficiency, resilience, and impact on occupant health and life safety, with a focus on high-performance IMP assemblies.
  • Identify standardized testing methods and code compliance criteria used to evaluate the safety, durability, and environmental performance of building materials and exterior wall systems in US construction.
  • Assess the water, air, vapor, and thermal performance characteristics of IMPs using validated test data, and explain how their characteristics contribute to improved indoor environmental quality, moisture control, and long‑term building performance.
  • Compare IMP assemblies with conventional multicomponent wall systems in terms of energy efficiency, envelope integrity, life‑safety performance, and environmental impact.

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