Continuous insulation is critical in achieving healthy, energy-efficient, and durable buildings. However, many construction installation challenges exist that prevent continuous insulation from matching its intended performance. This presentation will review what continuous insulation is, why it’s important, and how to achieve it in the field. It will discuss and review codes and standards that require continuous insulation. This presentation is meant to bridge the gap between the important concept of continuous insulation and strategies for achieving it by practical means in the field.
The intended audience is architects, building owners, contractors, and anyone with a stake in high-performance buildings.
