The Advantages of Polyiso Insulation in Below-Grade Installations

Polyisocyanurate (polyiso) insulation is one of North America’s most widely used, readily available, and cost-effective insulation products. While polyiso is currently most commonly known for its use on roofs and walls, this course focuses on the many benefits of using it in below-grade installations in order to meet energy codes, maximize the building foundation’s thermal performance, and extend the overall life of the structure. The course explores the requirements for three primary characteristics of any below-grade insulation—thermal performance, water absorption, and load capacity—and describes how polyiso meets or exceeds those requirements and protects the foundation waterproofing system....

Design Details for Good Acoustics: Part 1 – Walls

Acoustical design requirements are frequently based on laboratory test data. Walls constructed in a lab for testing are built under ideal conditions and with high levels of precision. These walls also do not have any of the attachments or penetrations that are ubiquitous in real-world construction. Selecting a tested wall design that meets an STC 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 wall's performance. These include: electrical boxes, hanging cabinets, window mullions, control joints, intersections, and more. 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...

Green Roofs: Integrating Blue and Gray Into Green

Green roof systems are typically described in terms of soil depth (intensive vs. extensive) or where they are assembled (built-in-place vs. modular). These are useful categories, but do not address key elements of green roof design, such as drainage, water storage, roof slope, and other considerations. This presentation will review different green roof systems and components, and their use in meeting project goals relating to storm water management, integration with hardscape, and constructability....

Addressing Condensation in Low-Slope Roof Assemblies

In basic roofing design vapor retarders and air barriers play a crucial role in reducing air leakage and enhancing roof system performance. However, their benefits extend beyond simple air sealing. This course explores the impact of new innovative technology: permeable vapor retarders and air barriers on moisture management, energy efficiency, and wind uplift resistance in low-slope roofing assemblies. Attendees will gain insights into moisture infiltration, air movement, and the risks associated with condensation buildup, material degradation, and loss of R-value in the roofing assembly. The presentation will cover strategies for proper design and placement of a permeable vapor retarder to mitigate condensation buildup and premature roof failures. Recent research findings will highlight how advanced moisture control solutions, such as permeable vapor retarders, enhance long-term roof resiliency and durability, lowering total cost of ownership....
