Course description: AEC Daily: Fire Performance of Insulated Metal Panel Systems
Demand for safety, energy efficiency, and contemporary aesthetics is driving building envelope design that incorporates increased amounts of combustible material in cladding, insulation, and water-resistive barriers. This course outlines the difference between insulated metal panels (IMPs) and aluminum composite material (ACM) panels, discusses reaction to fire and fire resistance, addresses building code and building envelope fire testing, and provides global case studies demonstrating the impact of IMPs on the building envelope after exposure to fire.
Compare IMPs to ACM panels in terms of material composition and its effect on fire resistance.
Explain the difference between reaction to fire and fire resistance and why it is important to consider both alongside fire spread behavior in order to ensure a holistic approach to firesafe design.
Discuss the treatment of IMPs in the IBC and the FM Global, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and ASTM International standards applicable to IMPs.
Use case studies to demonstrate the superior fire-resistant properties of IMPs with a polyisocyanurate (PIR) core.
