Radon Challenges – Gnarly Tales from the Field

Associated Courses
(206 customer reviews)

$225.00

This course explores techniques for going a little deeper in interpreting measurements as well as how to mitigate those tough houses with inaccessible crawlspaces, buried return ducts, and other crazy construction practices that make our lives interesting. We delve into these topics using real life case studies that have happy endings. These are more than a series of Fractured Fairy Tales. We explore a process for assessing unique situations you can use in the future. This course is designed for both the seasoned professional who has seen a thing or two and the novice who will eventually encounter these types of situations.

Description

This course addresses unique challenges to the radon professional including:

  • Buried Return Ducts
  • Untreated Adjacent Foundations
  • Wind Spikes
  • Working with Tight Soils
  • Highly Permeable Soils
  • Leaky Forced Air Ductwork
  • Inaccessible Crawlspaces
  • Emanation from Contaminated Building Materials

This course goes beyond simply identifying these concerns but actually presents solutions using real life case studies.  It also demonstrates the use of diagnostic equipment to aid one in identifying a problem and provides downloadable tools that the student can use for estimating pressure drop in mitigation systems, air flow as well as the significance of a radon emanation source.

Recorded with a live audience, the virtual student benefits from the formal instruction and contributions from the seasoned professionals who participated.

The format of the course combines video of presenter and attendees synchronized with powerpoint slides for an experience comparable to being “in the classroom” without the hassle, which has become a hallmark for CERTI courses.

Addressing RDPs – Another Tool in the Tool Box

C-4-110
This course, approved by the NRPP for 4 educational CE credits, expands the radon measurement professional’s skills beyond testing residential structures to be able to take advantage of the expanding market of conducting surveys in large buildings such as schools and apartment buildings.Testing large buildings entails a lot more than taking using more test devices. It is necessary to be able to convey to the client why multiple locations need to be tested; be able to implement communication plans for occupants; and to understand special approaches to interpreting results to provide the best value to the client while shielding you from downstream liabilities.This course, recorded at a live classroom session at the National Radon Conference in Vancouver in April, 2015 deals with all of these issues and more. It also provides sample notices, log sheets and other tools you will need to fully implement a large survey. You will be able to watch and listen to the lecture as well as benefit from the poignant questions posed by the live audience, consisting of radon professionals just like you.
