Understanding building physics is critical to proper building envelope design. This course, from the IMPAlliance, takes a relatively complex subject and reduces it to a level that teaches practical concepts for the building designer.
When a two-story hospital needed to expand, traditional materials like concrete limited expansion to just one additional floor. The solution? A lightweight wall system, designed by JRA Architects, that enabled the facility to double in size, maximizing space without compromising structural integrity.
Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) can be installed on almost any building type. Commercial and agricultural building owners across all sectors, including cold storage and manufacturing facilities, appreciate the quick installation, long life expectancy, and ease with which IMP roof panels meet demanding energy standards. IMPs deliver impressive results.

As a publicly funded project, the Monument at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center had to deliver quality and cost-efficiency. Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) allowed for optimized use of materials, reduced waste, and the ability to stay ahead of an aggressive construction schedule. The result is a building envelope system that consolidates five wall components into one product and creates a distinct profile for any design.
