Description
IR Inspections for Weatherization Professionals is a 14 hour theory and application course for the use of thermal imaging as a diagnostic tool for use in the weatherization of building envelopes. This is a non-certification course focused on the use of a thermal imager to inspect building envelopes and building subsystems. Course completion may be applied to training requirements for thermographer certification.
Course provides in-depth and practical instruction for thermographically detecting hidden problems in building sidewalls, roofs, HVAC ducts, and related building subsystems. Course attendance may be applied to training requirements for thermographer certification through Infraspection Institute and the InterNational Association of Certified Home Inspectors.
This course covers infrared theory, heat transfer concepts, equipment operation and selection, using a thermal imager in conjunction with a blower door, standards compliance, image analysis, tools for confirming infrared data, and report generation.
Students are trained to identify and document thermal patterns caused by improper design, workmanship, or material failure. Self directed learning activities are provided to help student gain practical experience; however, one need not have a camera to successfully complete the course.
Course tuition includes 24 hour access to all online course presentations, Student Reference Manual, online quizzes, proof of course completion, and free ground shipping of course materials to continental US. Students must complete training within 60 days of registration.
Course qualifies for 14 hours of continuing education by the InterNational Association of Certified Home Inspectors and meets the training requirements for their Infrared Certified professional designation and logo.
