Course Description: Soprema's Build Better Program-High Performance Walls (Newfoundland)
May 31, 2023 - May 31, 2023
Location: Delta St John's, 120 New Gower Street
Length : 3 HOURS
In this presentation SOPREMA is proud to introduce the BUILD BETTER program including the Protected Wall Assembly that passed the CAN/ULC-S134 fire test. In the past few years, SOPREMA undertook a series of tests and simulations in partnership with external firms to understand the interaction between materials in the wall assembly. SOPREMA believes that in order to build better, energy used to operate a building should not be lost due to poor thermal insulation strategies, air leaks, or thermal bridges. The Protected Wall Assembly offers many benefits such as thermal performance and cost efficiency and could change the way we build for a better future.
OVERVIEW OF BUILDING SCIENCE :
-Distinguish thermal performance of materials from effective thermal performance of assemblies
-Understand the impact of thermal bridging on thermal performance
-Understand moisture management in exterior walls
OVERVIEW OF THE BUILD BETTER PROGRAM :
-Understand the impact of cladding attachment systems
-Measure the benefits of using combustible foam insulation
-Demonstrate the cost efficiency of using a Protected Assembly
OVERVIEW OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS :
-Understand the environmental impacts of thermal insulation
-Understand the environmental impacts of a wall assembly
-Recognize a product-life-cycle-based sustainable development approach
