Spray Foam Insulation for Commercial Buildings

Spray Foam Insulation for Commercial Buildings

to take this course

Ready to revolutionize your insulation specifications? Spray foam technology is reshaping how we achieve energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and sustainability in commercial construction. This comprehensive course demystifies open-cell versus closed-cell systems, showing you exactly where each excels in real-world applications. You'll unlock the secrets to maximizing LEED v4.1 design strategies through spray foam specification—from energy performance and low-VOC emissions

Compare spray foam head-to-head against traditional insulation and rigid foam boards for exterior continuous insulation, while mastering the thermal barrier and fire safety codes that keep your projects compliant. Walk away with the knowledge to make informed, confident decisions that deliver healthier buildings and happier clients.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Differentiate between open-cell and closed-cell spray foam insulation, identify their most effective applications in commercial buildings, and explain how spray foam contributes to LEED v4.1 BD+C and ID+C energy and materials strategies.
  2. Examine how spray foam insulation improves thermal performance, air tightness, and moisture resistance, and contributes to occupant health by meeting the LEED v4.1 BD+C and ID+C emissions requirements.
  3. Explain how spray foam insulation Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) contribute to LEED v4.1 BD+C and ID+C Materials and Resources credits for life cycle assessment.
  4. Evaluate spray foam insulation versus traditional systems for exterior continuous insulation while ensuring compliance with code requirements for thermal barriers and fire safety.
