Effective thermal performance is replacing simple R-values in modern, high-performance commercial buildings. For most buildings, continuous exterior insulation will be the new normal. This presentation will help you understand thermal control fundamentals, changing codes and standards, and how to detail enclosures with continuous exterior insulation. You will come away with solutions to problematic thermal bridges and an understanding of how higher levels of thermal control affect enclosure design.
