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.
• 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 via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
