Designing Energy Efficient Building Envelopes with Hybrid Insulation Systems

Designing Energy Efficient Building Envelopes with Hybrid Insulation Systems

The course will explore how hybrid insulation systems can help you design more energy efficient building evelopes, while addressing air sealing and radiant heat transfer. It will explore different hybrid insulation systems that will meet the current 2021 IECC Building Code and 2020 Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation, 7th Edition for both Residential and Commercial projects. Specifically, looking at frame and mass wall structures in climate zones 2 and 3. Finally, it will outline how these hybrid insulation systems will help you meet sustainable building design criteria.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Define how Hybrid Insulation Systems address energy efficiency in the building envelope.
  2. Learn how to improve energy efficiency with Hybrid Insulation Systems by addressing radiant heat and air leakage.
  3. Apply Hybrid Insulation Systems to meet the IECC and 2020 7th Edition of FL Building Code for commercial structures.
  4. Distinguish how Hybrid Insulation Systems support sustainable design.
