Description:
Dense Pack Insulation is an in-depth, one-day course intended to cover the principles and theory behind dense pack sidewall insulation. This class will examine proper equipment set up and maintenance along with the necessary tools needed for optimal uniformity, target density, workflow, and production. Lastly, we will explore the guidance, best practices, and filling techniques related to dense pack insulation. This course is a combination of classroom, and labs working on dense pack wall props.
Learning objectives:
By attending this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify access to specific dense pack insulation work areas
- Apply protective measures and cleaning practices while working on the home
- Explain the importance of achieving uniform density within the cavity
- Select necessary dense pack tools, and materials (including safety equipment)
- Identify insulation equipment setup and maintenance protocols
- Reference dense pack related guidance and techniques
- Demonstrate dense pack filling techniques
- Illustrate methods to verify proper density has been achieved
