Description
Continuous Insulation, while required by the energy code, presents challenges integrating it with the overall wall-assembly’s design, performance and construction. This program at the intermediate to advanced level, comparatively studies eight steel-stud commercial wall assemblies with considerations including:
Learning Objectives
- OVERVIEW OF EIGHT ASSEMBLES: Understand the rationale of the eight commercial steel stud-framed wall-assemblies and how they compare with their types of continuous and total insulation, sheathing, air, water and vapor control layers.
- HIGH-PERFORMANCE: Compare how each wall may comply or exceed the energy codes and become super-insulated to meet ASHRAE 90.1 and ASHRAE 189 high-performance requirements.
- AVOID PROBLEMS: Illustrate how more insulation can present problems with trapped moisture and condensation.
- WUFI: Understand how each assembly compares utilizing WUFI Hygrothermic (thermal and moisture) evaluations over four climate seasons chosen for Climate Zone 5 (due to the requirement for an interior vapor retarder).
