Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) perform in all climate zones: cold, mixed, hot, humid, dry, or marine. IMPs meet the demands of all interior environments, including office, commercial, residential, institutional, pool, museum, art gallery, and data processing center settings.
For the exterior skin of the new Children’s Hospital building in Atlanta, the project team massed the patient towers with sleek glass curtain walls and Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs), incorporating playful curved corners and undulating awnings to complement the surrounding scenery and the aesthetics of the existing buildings on campus.

• What types of structural loading do IMPs support?
• How do IMPs Carry Structural Loads?
• What is the maximum panel deflection?
KAI Enterprises chose Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) to complete the new 500,000 square foot AISIN facility in Texas. IMPs were used as a way to future-proof the building and reduce energy consumption. This thermal efficiency and full vapor and water barrier make IMPs an energy-efficient cladding option, helping Aisin cut down on building cooling costs amid the Texas heat.
Understanding building physics is crucial to designing a proper building envelope. This course takes a relatively complex subject and simplifies it to a level that teaches practical concepts for building designers. We will study how various cladding systems perform across different climate zones and applications.
