BPI CEU’s: 3.25
Prerequisites:
- Weatherization 101 is helpful
- Understanding how to run a blower door is helpful
Training Type: Comprehensive, (JTA = Energy Auditor)
Description:
This one-day class is intended to provide a comprehensive perspective on ASHRAE 62.2-2016 compliance. Air sealing is a fundamental and necessary part of Weatherization that often leads to the home being tighter than is prudent to maintain healthy indoor air quality (IAQ). We will address the “whys,” the need for ventilation, and hopefully answer the question: “When do we stop air sealing?” Mechanical ventilation replaces this lack of natural air exchange. As occupant ventilation will be required on most homes, multiple options such as bath fans, range hoods, in-line fans, HRVs and ERVs can be used for compliance. This class will cover requirements of the standard, equipment selection criteria, installation issues, controls, operational testing, and client education. Data input for ASHRAE calculators will also be discussed.
Learning objectives:
By attending this session, participants will be able to:
- Discuss air sealing and ASHRAE interactions
- Review 62.2 2016 requirements
- Explore compliance options
- Look at installation and testing
- Reinforce the importance of client education
