Applied Building Science 02: Ventilation Strategies and Applications
Southface Institute experts present a sequel to Applied Building Science 01: Ventilation Concepts and Calculations. This course focuses on the application of ventilation concepts, as well as differences in strategies and needs within various climate zones.
Program Details
Southface Institute experts present a sequel to Applied Building Science 01: Ventilation Concepts and Calculations. This course focuses on the application of concepts covered in the prior course, as well as differences in strategies and needs within various climate zones. Hains also presents findings from a Department of Energy (DOE) and Southface research project, which leads to a discussion on how to build the perfect residential ventilation system.
This course consists of a video training, a slide deck and an exam.
Objectives
- Apply concepts and calculations learned in previous module
- Compare and contrast ventilation methods for different climate zones
- Assess which ventilation strategies are appropriate for Hot/Mixed Humid climates
- Predict how ventilation affects occupant comfort
- Interpret results from a DOE/Southface research project
- Identify best practices for building the “perfect” ventilation system
Earn
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will receive a certificate of completion for CEUs from ICC, AIA, BPI, and RESNET and will attain the certificate Southface Certificate of Completion B.
