This course discusses Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) as a standardized approach for reporting a product’s environmental impacts across its full life cycle. Within a “cradle-to-grave” system boundary, all life cycle stages are evaluated, including the extraction and processing of raw materials, product manufacture, installation, service life, disposal, and transport attributed to each module.
Participants will learn how EPDs summarize the environmental footprint of polyiso insulation products using scientific and quantitative life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology governed by consensus standards (i.e., ISO 14025, ISO 14040/14044, and ISO 21930) and Product Category Rule (PCR) frameworks. This comprehensive rule set enables the analysis and reporting of results using consistent and comparable methods for a given product category (i.e., thermal insulation in building envelope applications).
Additionally, the course examines the environmental impacts of polyiso roof insulation, wall insulation, and polyiso high-density roof cover board products. It focuses on identifying key metrics such as global warming potential (GWP) and places the results of the analysis in the context of other insulation material types.
The analysis also identifies environmental impact hotspots associated with key environmental indicators and discusses potential reduction measures.

What elements of architecture can actually be perceived and cognitively processed by people. What can’t be perceived and processed can’t be experienced and so has no real impact in architectural design. Sensory and cognitive capabilities and limitations, when better understood by architects, can help shape strategies and tactics for effective, impactful design.

Acoustical design requirements are frequently based on laboratory test data. Floor/ceiling assemblies constructed in a lab for testing are built under ideal conditions and with high levels of precision. These assemblies also do not have any of the attachments or penetrations that are ubiquitous in real-world construction. Selecting a tested floor/ceiling design that meets an STC and/or IIC requirement is not enough to provide adequate sound isolation in the real-world. To achieve good sound isolation, it is imperative that designers
understand how to treat the myriad of details that can compromise a floor/ceiling assembly's performance. These include: can lights, soffits, control joints, window shades, access panels, speakers, and wall/ceiling intersections. In this presentation we: discuss why a detail is important for noise control, provide the acoustical impact of poor detailing based on test data (when available), and provide acoustical best practices for the details.
