The new energy code regulations will require a more prevalent use of Continuous Insulation over framed wall construction. In steel stud construction especially, the transference of heat and cold through the stud itself, known as thermal bridging, can minimize or negate the desired R value of the cavity insulation. The prescriptive approach of utilizing foam insulation on the outboard side of the framed assembly known as Continuous Insulation can mitigate thermal bridging through the stud assembly and also assist in increasing the required R value.
Incorporating CI into wall assemblies that utilize common aesthetic looks like brick, stucco, wood, and metal presents unique challenges. This webinar will explore some of these challenges and offer views to various solutions to achieve the desired architectural finishes.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the challenges unique to brick, stucco, wood and metal applied to foam sheathings.
- Identify the solutions to achieve desired architectural finishes.
- Describe available wall cladding options containing CI.
