Description
This module will review building science principles that are important for insulation professionals to understand such as:
- Relevant building science principles
- Control of heat, air, and moisture and indoor air quality (IAQ)
- Other principles specific to the insulation industry, including air and vapour barriers, sealants and adhesives, home ventilation, various types of insulation products, and relevant codes and guidelines
Objectives
- Identify relevant building science principles in relation to heat, air, and moisture flow
- Define the building envelope and identify critical barriers
- Identify house-as-a-system components and how they interact
- Recognize the principles of heat flow and control in a house system specific to an insulation retrofit
- Identify commonly used insulation products and the pros and cons of each
- Understand the relative thermal resistance of different types of insulation products
- Recognize characteristics that define high performance windows and how they should be integrated into the broader building envelope
- Discuss how air barriers are used to seal homes
