Environmental Engineering 12 PDH Discount Package 4

This online engineering PDH course will provide step-by-step guidance on how to design and build radon-resistant homes.  By using a handful of simple building practices and common materials, radon levels in homes can be effectively reduced.  A basic radon reduction system can reduce radon levels by an average of 50% and further reductions can be accomplished with a minor upgrade to this system.

Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that can be drawn into a building or home and accumulate to high levels.  Every building or home has the potential for elevated levels of radon, and this potential depends upon your locality.  Reducing the level of radon in homes is important because the risk of developing radon-induced lung cancer increases as your exposure to radon gas increases.

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to engineers and architects who are involved with the design or construction of residential structures.

This online engineering PDH course provides information and guidelines about radon prevention techniques so that they can be cost-effectively incorporated into schools and other large buildings during the design and construction stages.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate in varying amounts in enclosed buildings.  Our increased understanding of the risks posed by radon indoors has underscored the need for construction techniques that prevent exposure to radon in buildings.  It is typically easier and much less expensive to design and construct a new building with radon-resistant and/or easy-to-mitigate features than to add these features after the building is completed and occupied.

This 3 PDH online course is intended for engineers and architects who are involved with the design or construction of schools and other large buildings.

This online engineering PDH course presents sustainable practices to minimize air emissions, energy consumption, land impact, water resources and material consumption.

The practice of "green remediation" uses innovative cleanup strategies to consider all environmental effects of remedy implementation for contaminated sites and incorporates options to maximize the net environmental benefit of cleanup actions and reducing project costs.

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to engineers involved with the investigation, design, construction, operation, and monitoring phases of site remediation regardless of the selected cleanup remedy.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidelines on how to properly select and locate a vapor barrier and how a vapor barrier can help earn LEED credits for building design.

A vapor barrier is one of the most critical building components used to prevent indoor air quality issues and minimize moisture-related concrete slab and flooring system failures. Proper selection of a vapor barrier based upon the criteria of low permeance, high tensile strength, high puncture resistance, and chemical resistance will ensure that the vapor barrier not only performs as an effective barrier to moisture and other vapors, but will also maintain its physical integrity during the placement of the concrete slab.

This 1 PDH  online course is intended for engineers and architects who are involved with the design of waterproofing/vapor barriers for building construction.
