Insulation Characteristics in Low-slope Roofing Applications
Description:
Course will describe Insulation and it's associated applications in commercial low-slope roofing related to energy efficient design, fire resistance, code compliance and enhancing building resiliency. Building occupant comfort to a large extent is dictated by interior temperatures. Insulation as a key component of the roof system in creating separation between the interior occupants and outside environment. Enhancing building resiliency is key to ensuring building occupant safety and the continuation of critical services in the event of a severe weather event.
Learning Objectives:
- Explanation of Insulation's attributes related to its use in energy efficient roof systems
- Understanding thermal resistance values and design best practices for providing long-term thermal efficiency of the building envelope
- Designing a roof system's thermal envelope to ensure the safety and well-being of a building's occupants through effective environmental separation
- Application solutions to meet building code requirements for energy efficiency and fire resistance
- System solutions for enhancing building resiliency in order to ensure building occupant safety
