1:30pm - 2:45pm: Mineral Wool Insulation: Sustainable Solutions for Thermal, Fire, and Sound Contriol - 1 hour CEU
Thomas Whipple, Northeast U.S. Specifications Manager

The energy savings potential of a properly insulated building is well understood.  However, as design professionals work to maximize the thermal resistance of wall assemblies and reduce wall section thickness, insulation is being positioned both in the stud wall and on the exterior side of the wall assembly.  This split insulation concept, has introduced several design concerns related to fire resistance and the drying potential of wall assemblies.  This program will focus on the unique properties of mineral wool insulation and how it can improve the wall assembly performance related to thermal, fire, water, and sound control.
