Pressure Pan Testing (Mini Course)
(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. |

|
Roof and Attic Ventilation (Mini Course)
(1.5 CEU) Most attics and roofs require ventilation to protect the roof from ice damming, moisture damage, and excessive summer heat. This course covers important ventilation strategies to keep roofs and attics dry and cool. You’ll learn about climate-specific ventilation issues and roof design features that eliminate problems. |

|
Simple Pressure Diagnostics (Mini Course)
(1.5 CEU) What we call “pressure diagnostics” is a group of tests and observations that help us diagnose and locate air leaks. We take measurements of pressure and airflow, during a blower door test, which help us determine which air barriers are leaky. |
$40.00

|
|
Site Drainage for Buildings (Mini Course)
(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

|
Stopping Heat Gain (Mini Course)
(2.0 CEUs) The most effective cooling strategy stops heat before it enters the building. Learn how heat enters buildings and the best strategies to stop heat gain. You’ll learn to limit heat gain in buildings, including: solar heat, air leakage, internal heat gains, and heat transmission. |
$60.00
|
|
|
|
Temperature and Heat (Mini Course)
(2.0 CEU) Measure the temperature and the mass of a substance to calculate heat content. Learn about thermometers, latent heat, sensible heat, the greenhouse effect, and how heat is absorbed or released as matter changes its state. |
$50.00
|
|
|
|
Unvented Roof Insulation (Mini Course)
(1.5 CEU) Ventilation air can flow below or above the roof deck, which affects insulation choices. Above-deck ventilation & unvented roofs have advantages over below-deck roof ventilation. |
$35.00
|
|
|
|
Ventilation Systems Overview (Mini Course)
(2.0 CEUs) Without enough ventilation, buildings decay and occupants suffer respiratory problems. How do we implement a successful ventilation strategy? Find out with this mini course. |
$50.00
|
|
|
|
Wall Insulation Materials (Mini Course)
(1.5 CEU) In most buildings, walls make up the largest surface area of the building envelope. Study a wide variety of fibrous and foam insulation materials, used for wall insulation, and learn how to select the right wall-insulation material. |
$35.00
|
|
|
|
Water Heater Basics (Mini Course)
(2.5 CEU) This lesson covers the features of storage water heaters, along with some new water-heater designs. Explore water-heater types, their main components, and compare their efficiencies. |
$65.00
|
|
