We will discuss how Polyiso Continuous Insulation will improve the thermal performance of walls of Steel Stud Construction. In addressing the advantages of continuous insulation, we will also address the disadvantages of using steel studs without continuous insulation. We will discuss what Sustainability is related to and how it is measured, including factors that are involved in addressing Building Longevity, and how these concepts impact making buildings more energy efficient. We will look at various types of products used to achieve code-compliant designs with a perspective that addresses sustainable construction. Looking towards the future we will discuss the actions being undertaken in conjunction with energy conservation and construction codes, building science organizations, and other groups in pushing proper building envelope design. We will also look at the history of Polyiso and how this product is produced from raw chemicals, creating a completed board stock product.

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

• Discover how POLYISO Meets Today’s Standards and Expectations and outperforms traditional methods for Optimum Control of Energy Usage, Moisture Issues, and Indoor Environment.
• Understand Building Sustainability and Longevity.
• Learn About the Science Behind Thermal, Air, and Moisture Control for Steel Stud Construction and how properly designed systems contribute to the environment and improve indoor air quality.
• Gain a better understanding of the Code Requirements for Building Envelope Design and Performance.
