Energy Efficient Building Envelope | Wisconsin

1 Hour Video Course | Approval #15067
This course will help you identify important exterior envelope performance considerations and then apply those principles to a specific project.

Description

Wisconsin is currently unable to process course completion certificates for all continuing education providers.
We're actively communicating with the state and will submit your course completions as soon as possible.
Despite this, you must fulfill your continuing education requirements and renew your license by the deadline to maintain your licensure.

Instructor:  Scott Corbat

Even as technological innovation creates new construction possibilities, incorporating energy-efficiency into building projects can not only provide a better quality of life, but also conserve dwindling natural resources.  Properly integrated design strategies can contribute to essential envelope performance requirements.  This one hour video course will help builders identify important considerations and then apply those principles to a specific project.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Describe how a properly constructed building envelope will keep out weather related moisture and stop uncontrolled movement of energy due to loss of conditioned air.
  • Identify a variety of energy and resource efficient products and systems available.
  • Explain some of the cost savings in both labor and materials associated with energy efficient systems.

This online course is presented in a video format.  Students should review the videos and the corresponding text. 

This Course Covers:

  • Advanced Framing Techniques
  • Air Barriers
  • Insulation
  • Foam Insulation/Sheathing
