Expanded Polystyrene, the Economical Choice for Roofing Insulation
Description:
During this course, attendees will understand the economic advantages when using EPS in different roofing applications. Attendees will also review key components to consider when preparing a roofing specification for EPS vs. another insulation product: R-value, compressive strength, codes, product performance, labor costs, LEED® and sustainability, product availability, and warranty. Case study examples will be cited.
Learning Objectives:
- Define and understand how EPS is manufactured.
- Understand the environmental features and benefits of EPS insulation including recyclability, LEED, thermal performance, and energy efficiency.
- Understanding key physical properties of the different EPS products used in roofing applications.
- Understand the features and benefits of different EPS products (standard, faced, and composites) and which roofing applications they are used in.
