The core learning objectives for this class all comprise of fundamentally understanding the concept of a metal panel. We will identify market sectors for architectural insulated metal panels, learn about the thermal performance advantages of these panels, and discuss the basics of panel installation.

We will also explore how insulated metal panels perform the necessary envelope control functions via single-component systems while accelerating speed of build.

This course will also describe the aesthetics, design flexibility and integrated accessories available for architectural insulated metal panels.
