Course Description: AEC Daily: Sealing the Envelope with Insulated Metal Panels
Today’s building professionals and owners share enthusiasm for building envelope performance. Building envelopes separate the building interior from the exterior environment. As such, they are exposed to a variety of environmental loads, including wind pressure, solar radiation, and rain. This course provides an overview of the major thermodynamic considerations for the proper construction of the building envelope with a focus on insulated metal panels (IMPs) that provide all four control layers (air, water, vapor, and thermal) in a single-component system.
Define the functions of the building enclosure and how insulated metal panels perform these functions through a single component that simplifies installation with fewer transitions and less chance of failure.
Discuss the basic concepts of thermodynamics and how different elements are used to control the environmental loads acting on buildings.
Describe what makes the “perfect” (universal) wall and roof from a performance standpoint.
Explain best practices for sealing an insulated metal panel envelope.
