This course is designed to provide an understanding of how better construction practices can increase building sustainability and longevity. Discover how polyiso insulation air and water-resistive barrier systems contribute to meeting energy code requirements and outperform traditional water-resistive barrier materials and construction methods. Learn about the science behind thermal, air, and moisture control, in projects of steel stud construction. Review building and energy code requirements relative to building envelope design and performance.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
