THIS COURSE IS NO LONGER OFFERED.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Explain how IMPs improve building performance by lowering energy costs, preventing moisture intrusion and improving the thermal comfort of its occupants.
- Examine the durability, energy efficiency and thermal performance of IMP systems by comparing their insulating values to traditional systems of the past and illustrating how IMPs reduce the carbon footprint of a building.
- Analyze the sustainability benefits, attributes and performance criteria of IMPs relative to qualifying for credits under today's green building rating programs.
- Discuss how IMPs serve as walls, ceilings and roofs for commercial and industrial buildings, in new and retrofit construction; and how they can be easily adapted to pre-engineered metal building designs.
- Differentiate various types of IMPs based on their performance attributes and aesthetics and specify the appropriate IMP system for a specific application.
