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

too long for someone with building science knowledge. It should be self paced.
course was great. would be nice to have some technical details ironed out so that is progresses smoothly. shouldn't be so easy to get hung up with an incomplete video.
excellent
