Green and Energy Retrofit (House Doctor) Training
with David Johnston, What's Working, Inc.
This two day class begins with building science for the non-science minded, and moves through how a building works as a system. Conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer mechanisms, as related to specific areas of the home, are explored in detail. These principles are the basis of understanding how homes work and how to treat the problems of comfort, mold, indoor air quality and energy efficiency. This class will train professionals how to understand the home the way a doctor understands the body. Energy retrofit projects will be prioritized by the value to the homeowner and the cascading sequence of approaches that optimize the effectiveness in saving energy.
The second day will be spent in the field with a home energy auditor. The students will participate in an energy audit including; blower door test, infrared camera inspections, duct blaster tests, combustion safety test and other analysis of the house. Prioritization of energy retrofit actions with some on site practice.
In the course of the training, you will learn:
-
How to see the house as a system: thermodynamics, conduction, convection, radiation
-
Hydrodynamics: how moisture moves, foundations, walls, attics
-
