Duct and Envelope Tightness (DET) Verification Training, December 1, Online Course, 9 am - 1 pm
Event Description
This three-day online course is designed to introduce the skills necessary to become a Duct and Envelope Tightness (DET) Verifier, certified to perform the diagnostic testing required for new homes by the 2009 and 2012 IECC amendments (content updated for new Georgia 2020 energy code).
Learn -
In this Certified DET Verifier course, you will learn the basic building science concepts and math skills related to air leakage, duct leakage, and ventilation in homes. This will allow you to conduct leakage tests in new homes as part of the IECC testing requirements for airtightness of the envelope and duct work. In existing homes, you can offer retrofit sealing of ducts, walls, floors, and ceilings to improve comfort and reduce utility costs for homeowners. You will learn important protocols for blower door and duct leakage testing as well as calculations to complete ACH50 and percent duct leakage diagnostic evaluations.
This course enables you to help builders meet state building energy codes that now require all new homes in Georgia and Alabama to be tested by a Certified DET Verifier. The DET Verifier Certification has recognition in multiple states under testing requirements for Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
