How to Inspect for Moisture Intrusion Defects
Tuesday, May 19, 2015. 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM, Mountain Time (US & Canada)
In this free class, we'll learn how to:
- inspect building components that may allow moisture intrusion;
- describe the ways energy, moisture, water, and vapor move through a building; and
- report structural damage caused by water intrusion.
Hundreds of images taken during several home inspections will be reviewed.
If you can't make it to class, no problem. Register anyway, and I'll email you the video recording.

occupants' health. Inspectors will learn how to inspect and test for

How to Inspect for Air Leakage in a Home
A comfortable, safe, and energy-efficient home requires:
- a fully insulated thermal envelope or thermal boundary.
- a
well-sealed air barrier: Since air carries heat and moisture, the
condition of the air barrier plays a major role in the movement of heat
and moisture through the building.
- thermal and air boundaries that are continuous and in contact with one another. The motto is, "seal tight, insulate right."
- efficient, properly sized equipment to condition the living space and heat water--bigger is not better.
- a well-designed and balanced air distribution system.
- healthy
indoor air quality: IAQ is a key health and safety concern. Home energy
contractors should test for carbon monoxide (CO) levels, backdrafting,
and mold and moisture issues to make sure they leave all homes safe for
the residents.
