Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF): Continuous Insulation and High Performance Envelopes

This presentation will review the basics of spray polyurethane foam chemistry, application, safety, code compliance, and building performance.  It discusses safety requirements during the foam application, how spray foam can contribute to improved indoor air quality by reducing air leakage, how spray foam creates a more comfortable environment, and improves a buildings energy efficiency leading to reduced energy consumption and lowering a buildings impact on the environment.

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

• Build a basic understanding of the chemistry behind spray polyurethane foam, the differences between open and closed cell foam and how the material is applied.
• Develop a better understanding of the use of SPF in Air Barrier Assemblies and how it contribution to thermal and air barrier performance in building better walls.
• Discuss typical details for specific construction types and applications.
• Understand and evaluate code compliance and best practices for specifying SPF.

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