Weatherization Training
Weatherizing residential and commercial buildings is one of the best ways for building owners to save large amounts of money on energy costs quickly. Interestingly though, few people actually know how to weatherize. This reason makes now the perfect time to obtain this knowledge and propel yourself into a burgeoning new industry, one that is sure to grow as more people learn of the undeniable financial benefits of weatherization. The Weatherization Certification course is intended to give the student a depth of knowledge necessary to perform surveys of single or multifamily dwellings and identifying weatherization issues.
A good weatherization survey can identify anomalies in the household that are the result of missing and defective insulation, moisture damage, and improperly installed insulation. The survey also can indicate the presence of moisture, and air infiltration and exfiltration. Our weatherization training course is a shortened 2-day course that will teach you fundamental building science theories and survey techniques. Be the first to learn these exciting new topics that are being demanded by homeowners across the nation.
