  4. What’s Included?

  5. Learning Objectives BUILDING SCIENCE BASICS By attending this session, participants will: • Understand the difference between thermal and air barriers • Know the proper location of thermal and air barriers • Recognize the driving forces of air leakage • Understand the connection between air leakage, energy waste, and moisture problems • Understand how air ducts affect pressure balances within the home • Understand the principle behind the blower door as a tool for measuring air leakage

  6. Thermal Boundary BUILDING SCIENCE BASICS The Thermal Boundary: • Limits heat flow between inside and outside • Easy to identify by presence of insulation • The location of insulation in relation to other building components is critical to its effectiveness • Even small areas of missing insulation are very important • Voids of 7% can reduce effective R-value by almost 50%

  7. Summary BUILDING SCIENCE BASICS • Pressure and thermal boundaries should be continuous and in contact with each other • Air carries heat and moisture • Air leakage requires a hole and pressure difference • Wind, heat and fans drive pressure differences • Duct location and condition can cause room pressure imbalances • Blower door is a controlled driving force for quantifying air leakage

  8. Modules • Installer Fundamentals • Installer Intermediate • Installer – Mobile Homes • Crew Chief • Energy Auditor – Single Family • Technical Monitor/Inspector • Train the Trainer • Heating Systems for Energy Auditors – coming soon • Energy Auditor - Multifamily • Mechanical Systems – Multifamily – coming soon
