This will be followed by a field trip out to a local Senior center in which two condi oned crawl spaces with closed cell spray foam were completed. Hans Berg & Dave Crawford L I E A ASHRAE R V S ASHRAE Standard is the residen al ven la on standard. The Standard is a complete system from defini ons to system sizing to system design op ons. This in-field session will apply the standard to an actual house. The process of applying all parts of the standard and facilitate its applica on to real world situa ons. As houses get ghter, the need for mechanical ven la- on to insure indoor air quality increases and the interac on with other air hungry equipment like combus on appliances becomes more cri cal. Recognizing these converging issues, building codes are increasing their mandate to require and scru nize effec ve, mechanical ven la on systems in both new and exis ng homes. This Session is focused on ASHRAE Standard and how to comply. Paul Raymer & Paul Fransisco Evaluate the details of the house and determine the best solu ons for the whole building ven la on requirement; Apply the exis ng house Appendix A to adjust the required flow rate; Select the best solu on for the local ven la on requirements; Demonstrate how to test the installed systems; Create the documenta on; Determine the interac on between the ven la on system and other systems including

E A ASHRAE R V S REPEAT M S Tom Brodbeck Paul Raymer & Paul Fransisco C T A D E R R Warm represents dry, good. Cold represents wet, bad. As we alter conven onal building assemblies with increased insula on levels we jeopardize the moisture balance and tolerance of the structure. Increased energy performance and improved durability are readily achievable. Depending on climate and exis ng housing stock achieving a 50% reduc on in energy usage is very doable. Marquam George

8 I T C Tuesday April 24th Half Day I B P: R N C This fast moving and prac cal session will focus on the issues surrounding insula on proper es, installa on of insula on, materials, costs, quality control mechanisms, etc. Each of these issues will be approached from the perspec ves of a WAP manager, weatheriza on tech, insula on installer and business owner. 1:30 4:30 Par cipants will learn how to calculate heat flow through basic building assemblies so they can calculate the impact of poorly installed insula on on R-value. This session will cover issues surrounding the installa on of fiberglass ba s, blown in a c insula on and foam. For weatheriza- on program managers, this class will offer a process to develop insula on specifica ons for quality assurance. Loren Christopher N L P In the United States many insula on companies are s ll insula ng a cs incorrectly. This class will use many cases studies to drive home the point that ge ng insula on installed correctly in a consistent fashion is as much an issue of company culture as it is process. Without commitment to quality at the top of a wx agency, u lity or business quality will suffer. The instructor will discuss how AI manages to try to strike the balance between compe veness, quality, crew direc on and company profitability. OSHA 10, P 2 CERTIFICATION PROGRAM (C.
