This course focuses on design considerations when using commercial/industrial insulated metal wall panels. Panel characteristics, market segments, paint and textured finishes, coatings, design options including integration with other materials, interior wall finishes, flashings and extrusions are all reviewed. Supporting structure design including steel alignment/tolerances, pre-engineered buildings and panel spans are addressed. Functional considerations including environmental control layers (air, vapor, water and thermal) are examined. A full color animated video provides a step-by-step understanding of how IMPs are installed. Code compliance including air/water, thermal and fire safety is also addressed. The program concludes with product and installation warranties, including paint, corrosion and weather tightness.Learning Objectives:
- Understand the characteristics that best describe commercial/industrial insulated metal panels (IMPs)
- Understand the design options for commercial/industrial IMPs
- Visualize the installation process of IMPs, including flashings and sealants
- Recognize the factors affecting panel spans and the relationship of these factors to structural supports
