IAQ and Housing Durability Essentials
This 1-day course (formerly "Resolving IAQ and Housing Durability Concerns: The Essentials") covers the essential indoor air quality (IAQ) and durability principles that affect housing. Visual case studes and group activities are used throughout to reinforce basic concepts and to explore causes and solutions for common IAQ and housing durability concerns. The practical approach helps participants link the concepts and examples to their daily work. Essentials will benefit anyone who wants to develop or refresh their basic knowledge and skills about building science (how a house "works" as a system), pollutant sources (e.g., building materials, house operation issues, mechanical system deficiencies), health issues, moisture, mold, other biological or chemical problems, and solutions for common concerns.

Troubleshooting IAQ and Housing Durability
This 1-day course (formerly "Investigating IAQ and Housing Durability Concerns: An Efficient Method") demonstrates practical tools, techniques and checklists to troubleshoot IAQ and housing durability concerns. Through visual case studies and group activities, participants will learn how to conduct a short, systematic, building science-based survey, consider their observations and create a simple action plan. Troubleshooting will benefit anyone who wants to add value to what they already do for their clients, is often asked to respond to client requests about IAQ and housing durability, or is interested in a simple troubleshooting tool. Those who have completed IAQ and Housing Durability Essentials or have a general knowledge of IAQ and housing durability principles, including an awareness of common issues and solutions, will get the most benefit from the course.
