Energy Efficiency Mechanics
This course will explore critical components of modern building performance, such as Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) and blower door testing. Designed for contractors, builders, and energy efficiency professionals, this course will cover the fundamentals, best practices, and code requirements related to ERVs and airtightness testing.
Description
Should modern homes be so airtight?
As building codes evolve and energy efficiency takes center stage, homes are being sealed tighter than ever. No more drafts, lower utility bills, and better control over indoor comfort – what’s not to love?
But here’s the twist: when a house can’t “breathe” naturally, where does the fresh air come from? Without proper ventilation, airtight homes can trap moisture, pollutants, and odors, potentially impacting air quality and health.
So the question is – are ultra-tight homes the future of sustainable living, or are we sealing in more than just energy savings?
