Weatherization & Insulation Remediation
Hours: 24 | Type: DistanceIn recent years the costs of heating and cooling have risen dramatically, and the demand for home weatherization professionals has risen in tandem. After a comprehensive energy audit identifies problem areas, Weatherization and Insulation Remediation work is typically performed at the homeowner's request. Remediation work can be performed under many circumstances, but the most common situations involve either a homeowner seeking to reduce heating and cooling costs, or as a condition of a real estate transaction.
PHII's Weatherization and Insulation Remediation Course is a comprehensive training program that will provide you with the information and skills you need to weatherize, insulate and improve the overall energy efficiency of homes. Insulation used during the last 100 years is extensively covered, and the course will also teach you how to identify insulation defects. After defects or problems are identified, they will need to be corrected, and our course also demonstrates the various ways to remediate insulation problems. If you have a construction or building trade background, Weatherization and Insulation Remediation can be a perfect fit for you. In addition, any building professional or home inspector who wishes to expand their services or offer energy auditing inspections can benefit from this course.
As you progress through the lessons and complete each lesson quiz, you will gain a complete understanding of the material. The course concludes in a comprehensive final exam in which all the content covered in the course will be touched upon. The quizzes and the final exam are taken online in our interactive course system and your results are recorded to verify that you have mastered the course content. The course is rated at about 24 hours to complete, although those more experienced in the building trades may be able to move through the course more quickly.
