Deep Dive into the Residential Thermal Envelope

Instructor: Hope Medina

Description: When the phrase of the “building thermal envelope” is mentioned the image people think of is insulation, but what other components are involved with the thermal envelope. The Building Thermal Envelope is a critical component of project design that serves to provide thermal resistance and create a level of safety and separation between the exterior environment and the interior conditioned spaces. This training course will discuss what the energy code provisions has for various materials and assemblies that provide this, and where provisions have increased and those locations that the provisions decreased. Join us to what new and exciting provisions are now in the IECC for residential thermal envelopes.
