Course Description: AEC Daily: Reflective Insulation & Radiant Barriers
ONGOING - 1 HOUR - FREE
Building systems can be enhanced by incorporating reflective insulation or radiant barriers into the building envelope. With effective insulation, heat transfer is reduced, resulting in less summer heat gain, and less winter heat loss. This course explains common and effective uses for reflective insulation and radiant barriers in a wide range of construction and building applications and demonstrates how these systems reduce energy usage, increase the lifespan of the mechanical equipment for heating and cooling, and reduce maintenance requirements and frequency of replacement.
ONGOING - 1 HOUR - FREE
Learning Objectives:
Discuss the fundamentals of heat transfer, with an emphasis on radiant heat transfer.
Discuss reflectivity and emissivity and the relationship between the two.
List and compare the principles of reflective insulation and radiant barriers.
Explain effective methods of use of reflective insulation and radiant barriers.
Identify specific applications well-suited for both types of reflective products.
