1:30pm – 2:30pm       Understanding Stone Wool for Interior & Exterior Commercial Building Applications

Presented by Rockwool (Thomas Whipple, Architectural Sales Rockwool)
Qualifies for: 1 AIA/CES LU (HSW) 1 GBCI CE Hour

Course Overview:

The net energy savings realized in a properly insulated building are well understood. However, as design professionals strive to maximize thermal resistance, yet reduce mass in the wall assembly, insulation is increasingly being positioned in both the stud wall and the exterior side of the building envelope. This split insulation concept has introduced any number of design issues and concerns; particularly as relates to fire resistance, moisture management, and wall drying rates. This program focuses on the unique properties of stone wool insulation, and suggests how it can improve thermal, fire, water and sound suppression performance in a well detailed wall assembly.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explains and shows what stone wool insulation is and how it is manufactured
  • Identifies the differences between stone wool, glass fiber, and foam insulations
  • Explains the key features and value added benefits of stone wool
  • Discusses the ecologically sustainable aspects of stone wool
  • Illustrates applications for stone wool in commercial buildings and low slope roofing
  • Comments on Code Changes to IBC Chapter 26 and testing standards for NFPA 285
