EARN 1 HSW/CEU WITH SARA | FL x CENTRIA - Building the Perfect Envelope with Insulated Metal Panels
Understanding building physics is critical to proper building envelope design. Examined here are practical concepts for the building designer, including how cladding systems perform across different climate zones and applications. Environmental control layers and hygrothermal loads are reviewed, as is the concept of perfect/universal wall design. The course focuses on how single-component insulated metal panels (IMPs) function as a perfect/universal wall, simplifying wall system design and installation.
Learning Objectives
Understand the natural forces of hygrothermal loads (heat and moisture) acting on building envelopes.
Learn design considerations for controlling rainwater.
Learn how air movement and pressure differentials affect building envelopes.
Realize how vapor can infiltrate buildings through diffusion and air transported moisture.
Understand the thermal control differences between cavity insulation and exterior rigid insulation.
Design proper building envelopes by providing control layer continuity at transitions.
Understand how insulated metal panels perform the same functions as multi-component wall systems.
Understand the concept of how IMPs function as “Perfect/Universal Walls”.
Learn the performance advantages of integrated window systems and how they provide control layer continuity.
