Overview
In today’s building industry, there are several commercial type buildings that are using building techniques similar to residential construction with respect to materials and installation details for slabs, underground foundation walls, exterior above ground walls, ceilings, attics and roofs. Although the building codes for commercial construction are different than those for residential construction, some of the insulation principles that apply to residential construction also apply to commercial construction.
In this course, the student will learn some of the basic techniques involved with insulation of the building components that are typical of both residential and light commercial multi-family facilities. The source documents are written around residential type building construction; however the student will learn that some of the basic insulation principles used in residential construction also apply to light commercial construction being used in retail and multi-family facilities.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in five DOE Technical Fact Sheets covering Slab, Basement, Wall, Ceiling and Attic insulation installation guidelines and considerations.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions at the end of the course to obtain PDH credits.
