Most of us spend much of our time indoors. The air that we breathe in our homes, in schools, and in offices can put us at risk for health problems. Some pollutants can be chemicals, gases, and living organisms like mold and pests.

By attending this session, participants will:

• learn about the factors affecting Indoor Air Quality (IAQ);
• understand the role moisture plays in IAQ;
• learn about moisture movement;
• learn pollutant remediation techniques; and
• understand the requirements of ASHRAE 62.1989 and ASHRAE 62.2-200

In keeping with InterNACHI's commitment to Continuing Education, this course is open and free to all members, and can be taken again and again, without limit.

The course includes interviews with two experts in the IAQ field.

John Ouellette is a retired internist / allergist specialist who has been interested in the field of indoor air quality (IAQ) as it relates to human health for the past fifteen years. He has a special passion in understanding how building science can be applied in developing interventions to fix an IAQ problem.

Paul H. Raymer is the Chief Investigator for Heyoka Solutions developing fully integrated housing solutions. He was the president of Tamarack Technologies, Inc., a ventilation product manufacturer located near Cape Cod. He has been working with ventilation design and consulting for more than twenty-five years. Paul has developed and brought to market more than twenty products, and he is a director of HVI (Home Ventilating Institute).

These two contributors to the course make IAQ for Inspectors easy to understand.

Again you guys put on another good course. This is a bit different then the first one I was introduce to back 10 years ago but at that time we where just understanding House as a system and the effects on a building, Indoor Air Quality was harder to understand.... this course was not.

[Robert Ernst]

This is something that is becoming more relevant.

Ventilation Improvements

Local bathroom or kitchen fans that exhaust outdoors remove contaminants directly from the room where the fan is located and also increase the outdoor air ventilation rate.

Local??

Taking course now.

Excellent course, video material was very informative.

Two areas that maybe need to be looked at:

The CE credit time. The course end to end, including exam actually takes about 2.5 hours. (There's over an hour of Video alone)

great course!

[Russell Loughrin]

The combination of the 4 course for the certified home energy inspection are once again another fantastic and valued added course which can not help but expand our personal and professional perspective when evaluating indoor air quality.

Thanks once again for the opportunity
