The 2015 International Energy Conservation Code and ASHRAE 90.1 now require insulation that is continuous in wall assemblies, (i.e. not interrupted by studs, framing, etc.) in all eight climate zones within the United States. This push for continuous insulation in exterior wall assemblies is also reflected in green building standards and the desires of building owners to reduce energy costs. While the traditional choice of many architects has been to use rigid foam board insulation over the exterior structural face and behind exterior claddings, significant technology advancements and assembly fire testing results have made spray foam insulation a more viable choice for exterior continuous insulation. In fact, closer review suggests that using field applied medium density spray foam insulation may be a better choice for many situations. Join us in this one-hour course as we look at spray foam insulation in terms of design flexibility, performance, construction efficiency, and cost.
