Learning Objectives

1. Review new energy code requirements and path toward mandatory zero energy, ready for all new buildings by 2032.
   
2. Explore the impact of thermal bridges on assembly U-value.
   
3. Learn about the thermal bridge solutions and design guides.
   
4. View the New Owens Corning Thermafiber RainBarrier ci High Compressive mineral wool insulations, Fiberglass Next Gen, and Foamular NXG.
