Lunch & Learns: A Great Way to Learn About SIPs

If you are an architect or designer, there are a few important reasons why you should learn more about structural insulated panels (SIPs). First, SIPs are a superior building product that creates high quality, green, and energy efficient structures. Secondly, an increasing number of people are requesting homes and buildings designed and constructed using SIPs. These homeowners want to work with an architect that is knowledgeable about structural insulated panels. Thirdly and perhaps most importantly, as cities introduce more stringent building codes aimed at energy efficiency, building with SIPs becomes a great way to meet and exceed these codes. For these reasons and more, Insulspan is proud to present the below Lunch & Learn – which will teach you about the structural, time, and energy saving advantages of designing with SIPs.

CEU: Architect’s Guide to SIP Design and Installation Best Practices

Learning Objectives
By completing this course the design professional will be able to:

Discuss the basics of SIPs and their history, SIP composition, and applicable codes and standards.
Discuss the energy-efficiency of SIPs and the product life cycle benefits of building with SIPs relative to traditional wood framing.
Explain how SIPs contribute to better indoor air quality through a reduction in both air infiltration and interior off gassing.
Explain the SIP design process and how to maximize value and minimize installation time and cost.

Method of Delivery
The course is offered to design professionals virtually or in a classroom setting. The course is presented in PowerPoint.

Cost to Participants
The course is sponsored by Insulspan and is therefore offered to attendees at no cost.
