This course is designed for the comprehensive evaluation and documentation of a performance based energy audit specifically of the building shell, assessment of the efficiency and safety of the mechanical systems, and to establish the most cost-effective weatherization strategy using skills learned in the course. These include principles of energy, energy and the building shell, energy auditing, air leakage and the dynamics of pressure differentials, insulation types, windows and doors, heating and cooling systems, indoor air quality, lighting and appliances, water heating, and health and safety.
This course provides fundamental concepts related to building science principals, air leakage testing, and performance based energy auditing. It also provides hands-on training in the field with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including the blower door, and duct blaster. It also includes overviews of the OECA Site-built Housing and Mobile Home Specifications. This is an intensive, full-week training course.
