Course Description: AEC Daily: Spray Foam Sustainability Through Modern Applications
The building envelope is the physical separator between the conditioned and unconditioned environment of a building and provides resistance to air, water, heat, light, and noise transfer. As a thermal barrier, spray polyurethane foam (SPF) offers numerous opportunities to contribute to building envelope performance and indoor air quality in several project types. This course presents the sustainable aspects of SPF, SPF fire and strength testing, and the benefits of SPF in below- and above-grade and rooftop applications.
Describe the physical property differences between low-, medium-, and high-density SPF and their appropriate applications.
Explain the sustainable aspects of SPF related to material composition, water resistance, global warming potential (GWP), and life cycle impacts.
Recall the ASTM and NFPA fire tests that SPF products must undergo to determine code compliance.
Discuss the energy efficiency benefits of using SPF in below-grade, above-grade, and rooftop applications.
