CAS 295 – Maximizing with IMP & Integrated Components

Earn 1 AIA HSW LU.

Maximizing Envelope Performance with IMP-Integrated Components explores an advanced insulated metal composite panel building envelope system, components that have been engineered to integrate with the system – including windows, daylighting panels, sunshades, and louvers – and how the IMP system and integrated components combine to create a high-performance building envelope.

Learning Objectives:

• Define a high-performance building envelope and discuss the most common barriers to its achievement.
• Discuss how IMPs serve as essential barriers to resist water, heat, air, and vapor to maximize thermal efficiency.
• State the benefits of advanced IMPs in terms of green features, design flexibility, and the simplification of installation.
• Explain how key envelope components including windows, daylighting panels, sunshades, accent fins, louvers, and through-tub bypass framing are engineered to integrate with advanced IMP systems to provide quality daylighting, views to the exterior, and proper ventilation of the building.
