This course aims to review various hybridized sheathing solutions and show how the integration of advanced technology has improved performance, capability, and sustainability of structural insulated sheathing (SIS).

Learning Objectives:

1.  Identify the characteristics of various hybridized sheathing solutions that contribute to energy efficiency and reducing air loss.
2. Use SIS systems to assist project teams in meeting green building program goals and requirements.
3.  Relay the benefits of fusion technology versus lamination/gluing.
4.  Identify how fusion-based Magnesium Oxide SIS contributes to sustainability, constructability, and versatility.
