Option 1: Online Courses
Spray Foam: Contributions to
High Performance Buildings
— offered by AEC Daily
Description: Insulation is one the most critical factors in any high performance building project. This course provides a discussion on both open-cell and closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF).
Topics Covered: basic characteristics, installation practices, insulation performance characteristics and how SPF contributes to an overall systems approach to energy efficiency, including how it can contribute to LEED® credits.
Continuous Insulation: Spray Polyurethane Foam vs Rigid Foam Board
— offered by Icynene University
Course Description:
The design of exterior wall assemblies has become increasingly focused on performance for greater energy efficiency and resistance to air and water penetration. The 2015 International Energy Conservation Code and ASHRAE 90.1 now requires insulation that is continuous in wall assemblies, (i.e. not interrupted by studs, framing, etc.) in all eight climate zones within the United States. This push for continuous insulation in exterior wall assemblies is also reflected in green building standards and the desires of building owners to reduce energy costs.
OPEN CELL SPRAY FOAM INSULATION
— offered by Icynene University
Description: Open Cell Spray Foam insulation is a logical and proven choice for commercial buildings that can reduce upfront costs by taking advantage of open cell higher yield and can reduce energy related operating costs for buildings. In addition to having the lowest impact potential on the environment being water-blown with a GWP of 1, Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation also contributes to improved indoor air quality within the building and overall building occupant comfort. Over the course of this presentation, you will learn about Open Cell Insulation’s air barrier and vapor permeability, fire ratings and code compliance, ability to enhance a building’s longevity, and environmental and Green Building contributions, as well as all health and safety directions, recommendations and best practices.
CONTINUOUS INSULATION FOR COMMERCIAL WALLS
— offered by Icynene University
Course Description:
Spray foam insulation offers a complete energy performance solution for wall construction in commercial design. Low-density open cell spray foam insulation provides an ideal means to completely insulate stud cavities while eliminating the potential for internal convection currents that could otherwise reduce performance. It also provides an effective air barrier to seal all areas and openings in a framed wall cavity. Medium-density closed cell spray foam insulation provides a high-performance solution for adding continuous insulation and an air barrier all in one product on the outer surface of sheathing on a framed wall. It will also cover smoothly and completely over all of the areas that could otherwise provide energy draining thermal bridges. The end result is a total high performance wall assembly solution that can enhance and work with virtually any architectural design approach. And, by virtue of that higher performance, the building owner will reap the benefits of energy cost savings and longevity of building for years to come.
