|
(8.0 CEU) Workers face a variety of hazards on the job site. In this course, we focus on the most statistically dangerous of these hazards, including falls, back injuries, repetitive motion, extreme weather, driving, tools, noise and confined spaces.

(1.5 CEU) The pressure pan measures duct pressures during a blower door test. If you measure pressure with a pressure pan at a duct register during a blower door test, that indicates that outdoor air is leaking into or out of the ducts. Pressure-pan testing isn’t a quantitative measurement of duct leakage, but it does help you find duct leaks and to evaluate the relative amount of duct leakage.

|
(8.0 CEUs) Moisture is most destructive force affecting buildings. Learn how to stop moisture from affecting human health and building durability. |
$200.00

|
(5.0 CEU) This short course discusses two ways of evaluating or measuring duct leakage: pressure-pan testing and duct-blower testing. Pressure-pan testing helps to evaluate duct leakage and locate duct leaks. Duct-blower tests quantify air leakage to help energy auditors estimate how much time and effort to spend sealing the ducts.

|
(8.5 CEU) Blower door testing is an important skill for reducing air leakage in buildings. Blower doors provide an initial air-leakage measurement of a building so you can budget the appropriate time and money for air sealing. During and after air sealing, workers can measure their air-sealing success.

(2.0 CEU) Most buildings in the US use gas combustion to provide space heating and water heating. This mini course discusses the different types of burners and venting systems. We explain the science of gas combustion and the major components of gas-combustion devices.
|

|
(1.0 CEU) Ground water is one of the main causes of moisture damage to buildings. Buildings that can’t direct ground water away from their foundations suffer moisture damage. This course covers landscapes and devices that keep ground water from wetting the foundation.
|
$25.00

|
(1.5 CEU) Windows are difficult to measure, choose, buy, and install. This course presents the economic factors of making decisions about windows. We discuss incremental costs and four different ways of measuring cost-effectiveness of window decisions.
|

|
(1.5 CEU) You can learn a lot about a building by studying its energy bills. Learn to separate baseload energy consumption from seasonal energy consumption. Monthly baseload consumption stays nearly constant throughout the year. Seasonal energy consumption varies with the seasons.
