This workshop teaches participants how to perform air tightness testing following ASTM E3158. The workshop is led by instructors with significant experience performing air tightness testing on large buildings. Participants are instructed how to use multiple blower doors and how to perform guarded testing. The instructions are hands-on and require participants to setup blower doors, […]
Participants will prepare a variety of sensors, assemble system inter-wiring and program data acquisition modules for the purpose of monitoring building enclosures. The 1-day course reviews sensors theory, experimental design, sensor construction and wiring, measurement system wiring and multiplexing, measurement system programming and commissioning. Participants will take home sensors and may take a complete kit […]
This course is led by building enclosure consultant and forensics experts with extensive on-site experience. The course covers common air barrier installation issues through a review of previous project site photos and deficiency reports. The course is targeted at both designers and contractors. This event will count towards 4 hours of structured learning towards OAA […]
This workshop is taught at the BELi lab in London Ontario. Participants learn how to perform air tightness testing by testing our building. Guarded testing and multiple blower door tests are performed. Forensics such as fogging with pressurization are used to find air leaks. Participants interested in learning about air tightness testing and those performing […]
This course is similar to the London, Ontario event but conducted in Toronto. Each event will count towards 5 hours of structured learning towards OAA and PEAK continuing education units *Time to be determined
Adopted January 2025, NECB2020 requires that overall thermal transmittances of assemblies including thermal bridging for clear wall and linear interfaces such as slab penetrations through wall assemblies must be considered. This course de-mystifies the calculation of psi values, clear wall and whole wall R values. The course is designed to help participants design to reach […]
