Course Description: AEC Daily: EPS Insulation for Innovative Roofing Applications
Retrofitting and replacing roof systems are essential aspects of the construction industry and offer opportunities to reduce a building’s energy consumption. Sustainable retrofitting of roofs with durable, energy-efficient materials helps reduce waste and conserve resources while promoting ecofriendly building practices. This course gives an overview of expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation and innovative roof systems that are designed to enhance building efficiency.
Define the factors that must be controlled to ensure the durability and functionality of a roofing assembly.
Contrast the insulation types with a focus on the environmental benefits of EPS insulation, including recyclability, long-term thermal resistance, and an environmentally friendly manufacturing process.
Discuss the types of EPS roof insulation, membranes, coatings, and accessories designed to ensure sustainability, energy efficiency, and protection from the elements.
State the U.S. and Canadian building codes and standards for roofing assemblies that must be considered to ensure building safety.
