Our CPHB Certification is meant for tradespeople and construction professionals with field experience. The training is open to all with past experience in construction and/or high performance building. Please see the following link for a description of the CPHB role, and the following link for a more detailed program overview.
Prerequisites: The training is open to all with past experience in construction and/or high performance building.
Learning Objectives (4):
High performance building enclosure systems with an emphasis on field inspection
Air barriers and passive building retrofitting
Quality assurance and quality control strategies
Climate-specific detailing
Weeks 1-2: Complete 8 hours of self-paced modules, laying the foundation of knowledge on building science, passive building principles and Phius Certification.
Weeks 3-4: Attend 8, three-hour instructor-led live sessions (24 hours total) for a deep dive on high performance enclosures, envelope field considerations, high performance mechanical systems, cost optimization and project management.
5 days of in-person, hands-on, building science deep dive: Emu’s 2d Passive Design/Build™ Course for North America + 2d Emu’s sponsorship-free Passive Pod Workshop + 3hr Exam to become a PHI Certified Passive House Tradesperson (CPHT). $2500+ value.
This Boot Camp includes:
5 days of in-person, hands-on training: 2d Course + 2d Workshop + 3hr CPHT Exam
What will you learn in this course?
All. The. Things.
The Value of Passive House
What is the Passive House standard, and why is it more like a building code than just a green building certification? Why will your clients thank you for knowing this standard?
High-Performance Envelopes
What makes a building envelope perform, and how do you mitigate thermal bridges and other potential weaknesses early in the process?
Systems & Services
How does the systems design integrate with a high-performing building, and what exactly are the indoor air quality requirements that make Passive so healthy?
Building Science Fundamentals is a LIVE! virtual seminar that teaches the basic knowledge needed to design and build durable, energy-efficient, affordable, and healthy buildings. Our past registrants have benefitted tremendously from the interactive sessions with Dr. Lstiburek where questions are encouraged. Because of that, we limit attendance to 50 or so. Each $595.00 series consists of 4 afternoons of instruction. Upon completion of the seminar, members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) will receive 16 LU|HSW posted directly to the AIA Provider website.
The time for the sessions will be from 1:00-5:00 pm EST.
Dr. Joseph Lstiburek will discuss building science principles (such as the control of heat, air, and moisture and IAQ) and show you how to apply them to low-energy enclosure design, advanced HVAC systems, forensic investigations, and the repair and retrofit of existing buildings.
The Fundamentals class has been attended by thousands of builders, architects, engineers, building science consultants, building code officials, facility managers, building product manufacturers, and government officials.
Advanced Pressure Diagnostics will utilize whole house thinking relative to house construction, air leakage and movement, forced air heating systems, ventilation systems, and climate. The goal of this class is to provide students with the skills necessary to decipher the unique mix of problems that every house has in relation to air movement, air leakage, pressure imbalances and flue drafting. This class will cover the science and practical application of air sealing, zone pressure diagnostics, infrared thermography, blower door testing, fan flow measurement, ASHRAE, and HVAC flow diagnostics and Combustion Appliance Zone (CAZ) pressure issues.
Participants in this class will learn to be the ultimate air leakage sleuths by practicing pro-level skills for balancing heating systems, solving air leakage mysteries, and avoiding dangerous combustion problems. This will be an intensive 2.5 days of manometer mayhem that will help participants perform audits, lead crews, and do Quality Control Inspector (QCI) inspections at a new level.
Course Learning Outcomes: Upon Course Completion, the student will learn how to:
Review basic whole house building science concepts of air and energy transfer
Learn advanced zone pressure diagnostics techniques
Learn about combustion appliance zones and the effect of air pressure on these zones
Learn about ventilation principles
Learn how to measure flow in ventilation systems and HVAC systems
