VP, Best Practices BOWA Design Build Experts Silver Spring, Maryland
Diagnostic tools can turn a contentious argument about “what the facts are” into a straightforward discussion of “how to fix this”. What are the tools that stucco inspector or energy auditor is waving around? You will learn how moisture meters, humidity and temperature data loggers, infrared cameras, psychrometers, and blower doors can be used in the diagnostic process. Featuring a live game showing how materials look in infrared cameras and how pinless and pin-type moisture meters react to them.
Learning Objectives:
By attending this session, attendees will:
Interpret readings from moisture meters, infrared cameras, hygrometers, and their use in building diagnostics
Learn three ways to fool moisture measurement tools and how to get true readings
Review use of blower doors, airflow measurement tools, and types of data loggers and their uses in building diagnostics
