Length: 1 Hour
Join Earth Advantage’s SHP instructor, Josh Salinger, as he discusses the pros vs. cons of different approaches and practical in-field installation elements.
Attendees will gain the necessary knowledge to understand the building science, durability, energy efficiency, and installation details that will need to be considered. These principles and practices will include wall design, insulation strategies, air sealing, product selection, and construction.
Exterior wall insulation provides a solvable challenge and a significant opportunity for building pros to increase the overall energy performance of their projects. Energy code requirements to install building envelopes with less heat loss and gain, build greater resiliency, and reduce thermal bridging are leading builders and tradespeople to evaluate new wall designs and insulation strategies. When considering different code measures or pathways, the integration of exterior insulation into wall systems provides a large UA reduction (average heat transfer of wall assemblies) that can open new doors to code compliance.
The strategies that will be covered during this session will assist builders in both meeting new codes and in building homes that will produce comfort at the lowest home operating cost. (For more info, you can check out the ‘Continuous Exterior Insulation Fact Sheet’ from BetterBuiltNW that will be discussed during this training.)
