Winter class 2003 Construction site visit.

Due to my unique
work history in the Building Inspection Field I have the experience
to instruct builders and contractors to enable a successful energuide
80 audit and
I have been in
the teaching field for over 12 years to current and past HVAC installation
standards. An essential requirement to educate students from experience.
My current Course
content includes:
- Residential HVAC Inspection
for the 2006 Ontario Building Code
- Basic introduction
to all types methods used to provide HVAC to home.
- Manual
built for the learner.
- Full after-class support
to the learner by Email and phone.
- On-site practical
inspections with the class.
- On Site Energy Audits
to the NRCan Hot 2000 program
- On-site final inspection.
- In-class projects.
- In-class presentations.
The final in-class
examination is unique in its content;
- Both written and practical,
involving an in-house inspection followed by a class presentation
of the findings. A great practice step for actual home inspections
and reporting without the pressure of the home owner being there.
If
the course you took does not include:
Practical in
class projects
On site visits
In class presentations
Manufacturers
site visits
A written and
practical final exam and presentation
After school
professor contact and support
After class alumni.
Then
just what have you paid for?
And:
What prospects do you
have after your schooling ends, to stay current and have
professional, reachable and caring support when you encounter a
problem out there?
Topics featured:
- Common defects
- The building envelope
- Home energy audits
Alumni meetings
Alumni meetings are held
once a month in the Toronto area; a great opportunity to network
with other other students past and present, practicing inspectors,
share information, but generally to relax among like minded people
who care about their chosen profession and about helping others
and themselves.
New courses
I would work with you, the
client, to design, develop, and implement courses (and/or of any off-school
project) to suit your needs.
I can tailor my courses
to Ontario Building Code HVAC house exam standards. This course
would allow building Inspection staff to inspect residential HVAC
systems installations for compliance to current codes and standards.
Ask
me for an estimate.
CURRENT COURSES.
Presently I am working
on or have developed manuals for and presented the following HVAC
courses:
- Building Inspectors
Generalist program HVAC portion built manual and presented in-house.
Instruction to building inspection personnel in the art of inspecting
Residential HVAC to OBC current standards.
- Wood Heating systems
built manual and presented in-house.
- Kitchen Exhaust systems
to OBC 2001/ NFPA 96 built manual and presented in-house.
- Hydronics for the
competent inspector.
Ask to see my manuals,
the inspection process, section by section fully pictured and explained,
an excellent way for your staff to understand the HVAC requirements
to better able to inspect to those requirements
Let me quote you on a
course tailor made to your local municipal requirements, a full
knowledge of heating from the basics up, or section by section modules
related to the Ontario Building Code sections that deal only and
totally with HVAC disciplines. 9.33- 6.2.4. and 9.32 are the basics
you would need.
Further modules can be
added as you staff become more competent at their new discipline,:
Hydronic Heating,
Wood Heating installation,
kitchen exhaust systems,
fire ratings and fire
damper installation and multiple family dwellings.
Your
Building Inspection staff will be able and competent to inspect
Installed HVAC system to current OBC standards.
All
of my in college courses for Home Inspection are approved to the
critically high standard required by O.A.H.I. and are accepted toward
the accreditation required by O.A.H.I. for you to become certified
to R.H.I.
