Sponsored by Kingspan Insulated Panels
Presented by Brent Trenga, LEED AP BD+C, WELL AP

Learning Objectives:

  1. Summarize how to properly design critical building envelope control layers to protect against the air, water, vapor and thermal loads to optimize energy efficiency.
  2. Describe traditional mutli-component backup wall assemblies and explain the challenges to achieve energy efficiency, installation and long term performance.
  3. Explain how design with insulated panel wall systems achieve higher energy performance, faster build speed and long term resilience.
  4. Discuss how insulated metal panel wall systems provide extensive design flexibility while integrating with virtually any non combustible rainscreen material.

The purpose of this session will focus on what an engineered façade systems should provide. Project teams are seeking a complete single source system from the studs to exterior finish. We will discuss types of testing and approvals Façade systems offer to meet national and international building codes. FM, UL, CAN UL, NFPA and others. Further discussion will be on performance warranties for leakage, system integrity, material performance from 1-20 years similar to a roofing warranty.

From the designer’s role, where you place the insulation and how do you attach the cladding can be the most critical decision when working with a building façade. We will explore both questions from a building science perspective to give clarity and certainty this is done properly.
