Continuous insulation is part of building standards and state and energy codes due to its ability to reduce thermal bridging and the associated heat loss and energy consumption. This course looks at the use of polyisocyanurate as a continuous insulation in Type V and residential construction and its use as a multifunctional envelope component—air barrier, weather-resistive barrier, and vapor retarder—by reviewing code requirements for the building envelope.

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

  • Define continuous insulation (ci), the role of ci, and types and properties of ci designed to improve the thermal performance of a building envelope.
  • Identify the applications of polyiso ci, including its use as exterior insulation, water-resistive barrier (WRB), air barrier (AB), and a multifunctional or composite performance sheathing.
  • Recall energy code compliance, including prescriptive, U-value, and performance paths.
  • Recall building code compliance, including fire, wind pressure, and building science (WRB, AB, vapor retarder) considerations.

Approximately 1 hour, 30 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
