Course Description: AEC Daily: Concrete-Faced Continuous Insulation Systems
Concrete-faced insulated products are composite prefinished panels that are used to construct walls and roofing assemblies to maximize the energy efficiency, durability, and performance of a building envelope. This course discusses the design criteria used in designing energy-efficient buildings using concrete-faced continuous insulation systems for low-slope roofing, walls, and foundations. The functional and physical features of protective membrane roof (PMR) systems, concrete-faced insulated panels for walls and foundations, and concrete structural insulated panels (CSIPs) are evaluated.
Discuss energy-efficient building design considerations and the role of continuous insulation (ci) in enhancing the efficiency of the building envelope and thermal comfort levels.
Discuss how concrete contributes to sustainable building projects by examining the physical and performance characteristics of concrete.
Compare the performance of a protective membrane roof (PMR) assembly to that of a conventional roof assembly, and identify the advantages of installing a PMR system with concrete insulated panels in terms of its thermal, fire, and water resistance.
Evaluate the functional and physical features of concrete insulated sheathing panels, concrete-faced insulated perimeter wall panels, and concrete structural insulated panels (CSIPs), and discuss why these products improve the durability, energy efficiency, and life cycle of a wide variety of buildings.
