(2.0 CEU) This mini course outlines the most dangerous biological and chemical hazards that we find in buildings and on job sites. We discuss the personal protective equipment (PPE), administrative changes, administrative changes, engineering controls, and hazard elimination to protect workers from respiratory, hearing, vision, and other hazards.

|
(2.0 CEU) Most modern, airtight buildings use mechanical ventilation to exhaust polluted air and replace it with fresh air. This mini course explains how ventilation improves human health, building durability, and energy efficiency.
|

|
(1.5 CEU) HVAC systems are only effective if they distribute the right amount of conditioning to building spaces. Forced-air HVAC systems are notorious for air-distribution problems. You’ll learn how static pressures, equipment maintenance, and duct design affect airflow into rooms. You’ll also learn methods to improve forced-air distribution and solve airflow problems.

|
(2.5 CEU) Well-designed combustion venting is essential for occupant health, safety, and building durability. This mini course covers how combustion venting systems work and how they can fail.
|
$100.00
|
|
||
|
(2.0 CEU) Renovators have a responsibility to prevent lead poisoning. By working lead-safe, you can control dust and prevent lead poisoning. For certification, you must know the EPA and HUD Rules. These rules set forth specific and performance-based requirements that you must mastered to achieve compliance on weatherization and renovation jobs.
|

(1.5 CEUs) HVAC systems are expensive to replace. If we replace an existing system, we should make it the most efficient systems that the client or organization can afford. This mini course discusses how to make the best choices to either service the existing system or select and install the most efficient HVAC system the customer can afford.
