Overview: This 0.5 credit course provides greater detail about how graphite polystyrene insulated vinyl siding contributes to 2021 energy codes and ASHRAE 90.1. as continuous insulation requirements, regional hurricane and high wind codes.
Prerequisite Knowledge:
The participants should have completed the overview course “Not Your Grandmother’s Vinyl Siding, the Advantages of Graphite Polystyrene Insulated Vinyl Siding.”
HSW Justification:
Graphite polystyrene insulated vinyl siding is an approved method for meeting continuous insulation required by the 2021 International Residential Energy Code and ASHRAE 90.1 and, therefore, reduces energy consumption and associated carbon emissions. Moreover, specialized systems have been developed to meet the rigorous codes in hurricane-prone areas, underscoring their effectiveness in mitigating structural damage and enhancing occupant safety.
