Raleigh Wake HBA Virtual Class
Raleigh

Description

Everyone has heard that a house has to breathe. Does that make sense? It turns out houses don’t have lungs. So they don't likely need to breathe. But people living inside them do have to breathe. The problem arises when occupants are forced to breathe the same air over and over in substantially airtight homes. Research clearly shows the air in our homes is filled with a variety of contaminants that can create health complications. This course will review those contaminants of concern, their impact on health and how to reduce the risk to health and wellness using whole house ventilation.

Description

Everyone has heard that a house has to breathe. Does that make sense? It turns out houses don’t have lungs. So they don't likely need to breathe. But people living inside them do have to breathe. The problem arises when occupants are forced to breathe the same air over and over in substantially airtight homes. Research clearly shows the air in our homes is filled with a variety of contaminants that can create health complications. This course will review those contaminants of concern, their impact on health and how to reduce the risk to health and wellness using whole house ventilation.

Then, the framing plans of an actual simple two-story house will be used to select all framing members required to satisfy the code requirements for the roof, ceiling, floors, walls, headers, girders, and, finally, the foundations and footings. The span tables in the code will be used to make those selections. The attendees that will find this class most useful are those who perform the tasks of project price estimating and those who develop construction drawings. In addition, framers who must size and select their own framing members will also benefit greatly from this course.

Description

Everyone has heard that a house has to breathe. Does that make sense? It turns out houses don’t have lungs. So they don't likely need to breathe. But people living inside them do have to breathe. The problem arises when occupants are forced to breathe the same air over and over in substantially airtight homes. Research clearly shows the air in our homes is filled with a variety of contaminants that can create health complications. This course will review those contaminants of concern, their impact on health and how to reduce the risk to health and wellness using whole house ventilation.
