This course will review an in-depth breakdown of the current uses of insulation in wall assemblies. The attendees will learn more about the differences in the use of cavity insulation versus the use ...

It is widely known that wood offers higher levels of thermal resistivity versus other framing materials. In fact, wood naturally has nearly four times the thermal resistance of steel or masonry. The ...

Building codes and green building standards are continuing to raise the bar on energy efficiency and high performance in buildings. In wood-framed buildings, designing for thermal and moisture ...

Rather than relying only on insulation placed between studs, CI places insulation across the exterior of the wall so it remains continuous over framing members. That detail matters because framing ...

As Energy Codes Tighten, Continuous Insulation Moves From ‘Nice to Have’ to Standard Practice Design teams balance thermal bridging, moisture control, and exterior wall fire performance as CI adoption ...
