Real estate professionals often focus primarily on structural assessments, given the relatively lower occurrence of structural defects compared to issues in other areas. However, structural conditions can be the most critical and financially burdensome to address. In this illuminating 4-hour course, participants will embark on a journey to understand the pivotal roles of insulation, air/vapor barriers, and ventilation systems in maintaining the comfort and structural integrity of homes.

Course Highlights:

The Power of Insulation: Explore how insulation plays a crucial role in regulating temperature and preserving the structural integrity of homes. Understand the various types of insulation, their effectiveness, and their impact on energy efficiency.

Air/Vapor Barriers: Delve into the importance of air and vapor barriers in creating a healthy and energy-efficient home environment. Learn how these barriers contribute to moisture control and indoor air quality.

Ventilation Systems: Gain insights into the world of ventilation systems and their role in maintaining a comfortable and healthy living space. Explore different ventilation methods and their benefits.

Identifying Potential Hazards: Shift your perspective to focus on identifying conditions that could potentially damage a house. Develop the skills to recognize insulation, air/vapor barrier, and ventilation system issues that may affect the property’s structural integrity and overall well-being.

While homeowners often aim to reduce heating and cooling costs, real estate professionals prioritize identifying and addressing conditions that have the potential to harm the house. By the end of this course, participants will be equipped to conduct comprehensive inspections that encompass not only structural aspects but also insulation, air/vapor barriers, and ventilation systems.
