With all the economic challenges that the world is facing, energy efficiency is certainly a top priority. The challenge is, you don’t know what you don’t know, right? That’s why the Reflective Insulation Manufacturers Association International is conducting an educational workshop at the upcoming Metalcon Conference being held October 7-9 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
RIMA International is helping to start this event off right on day one Wednesday, October 7th at Noon. The session is titled “Reflective Insulation & Radiant Barriers in Metal Building Design: Solving Real-World Thermal, Moisture, and Energy Challenges” and is hosted by industry experts Dante Ferrari, Philip Ramstack and Kelly Myers.
Metal buildings present unique thermal and moisture challenges due to highly conductive assemblies, wide temperature swings, and increasing energy-efficiency requirements. Traditional insulation strategies alone often fall short in controlling radiant heat transfer, condensation risk, and long-term operational costs. This session will explore how reflective insulation and radiant barrier systems are successfully used in metal building construction to address real-world performance challenges. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of radiant heat transfer, condensation control strategies, and how reflective insulation systems complement mass insulation in metal roofs, walls, and HVAC applications. This session combines building-science fundamentals, code-recognized applications, and real-world project examples to help architects, engineers, contractors, and metal building professionals make informed design and insulation decisions.
This session is a must for everyone in the metal construction industry. You cannot afford to miss this informational and enlightening session. Check out full program details and register here www.metalcon.com . We look forward to meeting you!
