CI by Climate Zone in Commercial Energy and Building Codes

This course presents and explains commercial building energy code and building code requirements that are inter-related and vary across US climate zones for building thermal envelopes. The course focuses on coordinating building code vapor control requirements and energy code insulation requirements with a particular focus on optimizing the value of continuous insulation on frame wall assemblies by leveraging the multi-functional capabilities of foam plastic insulating sheathing. Practical technical resources and useful design tools also will be shared to help efficiently optimize walls for code compliance and performance.

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

• Learn energy code insulation requirements as they vary by climate zone in the US.
• Learn building code water vapor control strategies as they vary by climate zone across the US
• Learn how to apply various wall insulation and vapor control strategies to optimize code compliance and performance of frame walls.
• Learn of the multi-functional capabilities of foam plastic insulating sheathing products and how to apply them in a code-compliant manner.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
