Building Envelope, Part 2: Insulating

Building on the discussion of thermal performance in The Work of Weatherizing Buildings, this course focuses on the practical methods of increasing insulation levels in walls, floors, attics, and crawlspaces. Emphasis will be placed on identifying pre-existing moisture conditions, and details that can impact the long-term performance of the envelope.

The course will conclude with a final exam which requires a score of 80% or better to pass.
