"I learned a lot about Graphite Polystyrene Siding."
- Franklin
This course examines the unique advantages of graphite polystyrene insulated vinyl siding as a high-performance building system for new and existing buildings to
1) Provide exterior, continuous insulation
2) Manage moisture
3) Increase durability and environmental performance
4) Enhance the appearance

This course is an extension of the overview course "Not Your Grandmother's Vinyl Siding, the Advantages of Graphite Polystyrene Insulated Vinyl Siding” that examines the advantages of graphite polystyrene insulated vinyl siding for new and existing buildings This .25 credit course provides greater detail about how graphite polystyrene insulated vinyl siding contributes to 2021 energy codes and ASHRE 90.1. as continuous insulation requirements. Additionally, we will look at regional hurricane and high-wind codes and how GPS insulated vinyl siding can be specified to meet those requirements.

The look of “Wood” provides warmth in a building design that cannot be achieved by masonry, metals or other building materials. Natural wood is a traditional option, but newer composite and synthetic products replicate the look of natural wood but offer superior color retention and life-cycle performance while requiring little to no maintenance. This learning unit will provide an in- depth overview of current “wood” design technologies natural and synthetic.
