A high-performance building envelope, such as one made with architectural insulated metal panels (IMPs), serves as the building’s primary defense against environmental elements and protects the health and well-being of its occupants. This course reviews the components and benefits of IMPs, which offer all four control layers—air, vapor, thermal, and water—within a single component, delivering superior thermal performance and high-end design.

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

  • Discuss the history, applications, and performance benefits of architectural insulated metal panels designed to improve thermal performance, fire resistance, and the resilience of the building envelope.
  • Explain how insulated metal panels serve as a complete building envelope by controlling moisture, air, and thermal flows, thus maintaining occupant comfort and enhancing energy efficiency.
  • Compare the advantages of single-component insulated metal panel systems over multicomponent systems in terms of sustainability, design flexibility, carbon footprint, and ease of installation.
  • State the testing methods pertaining to IMPs for water and air infiltration, thermal loads, and resistance to fire.

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