Content Description

The Advantages of Polyiso Insulation in Below-Grade Installations, 2024
CEU: 0.1 | CEU Code: RM-EN-180801-1123

Rmax - A Division of the Sika Corporation Polyisocyanurate (polyiso) insulation is one of North America's most widely used, readily available, and cost-effective insulation products. While polyiso is currently most commonly known for its use on roofs and walls, this course focuses on the many benefits of using it in below-grade installations in order to meet energy codes, maximize the building foundation's thermal performance, and extend the overall life of the structure. The course explores the requirements for three primary characteristics of any below-grade insulation'thermal performance, water absorption, and load capacity'and describes how polyiso meets or exceeds those requirements and protects the foundation waterproofing system. 60 minutes.

Learning Objectives

  • Demonstrate the benefits of insulating buildings below grade to achieve maximum building envelope performance.
  • Identify codes and standards that apply when specifying below-grade insulation.
  • Utilize testing results to validate the use of polyiso below grade when comparing it to other options.
  • Detail the appropriate polyiso application methodology to suit specific project conditions.

Faculty BIO

Steven Kristensen is architectural consultant for RMAX, which is part of the SIKA Corporation. With over 15 years of construction experience, he is well versed in the construction methodology, process, and the building science behind it all.
