This course focuses on design considerations when using insulated metal roof panels. Panel characteristics, paint finishes and roof geometry options are reviewed. Support structure requirements (ex: purlins, joists, decking) including steel alignment/tolerances, panel spans and roof diaphragm considerations are studied. Functional aspects including environmental control layers (air, vapor, water and thermal) are examined. A full color animated video provides guidance on the step by step process of how IMP roofs are installed. Code compliance including air/water, thermal, fire safety and wind uplift is addressed. The program concludes with product and installation warranties, including paint, corrosion and weather tightness.

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

• Understand the design options for IMP roofs, including exterior and interior finishes, roof geometry (options and limitations) and accessory components.
• Recognize the engineering considerations affecting panel use, comprehend why IMPs are ideally suited for pre-engineered (PEB) and structural steel buildings (PEBs), and understand how IMPs provide all necessary air, water, vapor, and thermal control layers through a single component and compares to other competing roofing systems.
• Understand the characteristics, options, and configurations of insulated metal roof panels (IMPs) and gain knowledge of IMP code compliance.
• Understand how IMPs provide all necessary air, water, vapor and thermal control layers through a single component, and how this compares to other competing roofing systems.
