SUMMARY:Houses That Work - Charlotte, NC
DESCRIPTION:Charlotte Houses That Work Training:\nInsulation & Air Sea
 ling - 8:30 to 12\n\"Attaining Optimal Insulation Effectiveness in Hig
 h Performance Homes\"\nThis workshop will help participants understand
  the key principles for ensuring they attain optimal insulation effect
 iveness in high performance homes. The session will review the basic p
 hysics of air, heat and moisture flow covered in the Houses That Work 
 workshop and then will cover the essential questions related to creati
 ng an effective thermal barrier. Participants will learn the advantage
 s and differences between each type of insulation and will be given va
 luable techniques and strategies to maximize the performance of each t
 ype. A thorough discussion of proper installation methods will be cove
 red including the importance of air sealing and air sealing methods. T
 his presentation will allow participants to discuss insulation issues 
 and their experiences through the use of case studies and group exerci
 ses to ensure a wide variety of construction types and systems, releva
 nt to the home building industry, are covered.\nAirsealing: Remodeling
  for Energy Savings & Comfort - 1:00 to 4:30\nThis workshop will teach
  participants essential information about airsealing as it applies to 
 single family residences. The house is a system and every component in
  it works together. Adding insulation and sealing air leaks can improv
 e the energy efficiency of a home and improve the home’s comfort and
  durability. However, every change made to the building’s envelope (
 walls, floors, and ceiling) and components will affect how the home wo
 rks to keep out the elements and keep the occupants safe and comfortab
 le. Tightening the building envelope without providing appropriate ven
 tilation can cause pressure imbalances or negative pressure in the hou
 se. This negative pressure can set up the conditions for backdrafting 
 of fireplaces or fuel-burning (combustion) appliances and may draw pol
 lutants into the home. A trained contractor understands how systems wo
 rk together to keep the house operating as it should. Participants wil
 l learn the basics about air leakage and the details and techniques fo
 r airsealing. They will gain practical and affordable tools and strate
 gies they can use to help their clients make better decisions. Partici
 pants will be equipped to avoid potential risks and identify new oppor
 tunities for marketing their services. The information presented in th
 is session will build on the basics of building science covered in the
  popular EEBA full day Houses That Work session. Participants for this
  Airsealing session are encouraged to attend an HTW I session before t
 aking this workshop.\nAn important element of the workshop will be to 
 introduce the DOE’s Building America Best Practice Air Sealing Guide
