Advantages of Polyiso in Below-Grade Applications
This course explores the below-grade use of polyiso insulation to meet energy codes and maximize the thermal performance of the building foundation. Let us help dispel the myths that have been created relative to polyiso insulation while discussing its thermal performance, water absorption, and load capacity – the three primary characteristics of below-grade insulation. In addition, we will discuss how the insulation can provide protection for the foundation waterproofing system.
