CERTI-323, 16 CE hours, C-16-108 Addressing Radon in Daycare Facilities, Schools and Large Buildings

C-16-108 Addressing Radon in Daycare Facilities, Schools and Large Buildings

Course ID#: CERTI-323
Applicable to: Measurement
Course Type: Classroom
C.E. Credits: 16

Course Description: In recent years there has been a significant increase in radon surveys occurring in non-residential buildings such as school, office buildings, apartments and child care facilities. Addressing concerns in these types of buildings can be significantly more complex than dealing with single family homes. This added complexity is due to their size, and the additional factors associated with the HVAC systems, non-owner occupants, communication plans, and long-term maintenance programs.

Large facilities can greatly benefit from a well thought out plan for positive action that can save initial and long-term maintenance and have a positive impact on occupants. But if done improperly or haphazardly can create some ugly occupant relationships if not bad press in the media. This program walks through the development of the elements of a long-term management plan to address validated radon risks in a manner that demonstrates a commitment to a safe environment without breaking the bank or creating panic.

Course ID#: CERTI-324
Applicable to: Measurement & Mitigation
Course Type: Classroom
C.E. Credits: 4

Course Description: It is well known the mechanism by which radon exposure increases the potential of lung cancer is alpha release from the short-lived decay products of radon and the amount of these decay products available for respiration can vary due to air circulation rates, particulate levels, etc. This course explores from a practical standpoint how radon decay products are measured and how RDP reduction can enhance soil gas remediation by reducing radon risks to very low levels.

Course ID#: CERTI-325
Applicable to: Measurement & Mitigation
Course Type: Classroom
C.E. Credits: 16

Course Description: Interpreting radon measurements or mitigating buildings with radon concerns is not always as easy we would like them to be. Experienced radon professionals from both sides of the profession occasionally will run across a situation that doesn’t necessarily fit the simple diurnal cycles that affect stack effect or houses that don’t adhere to the simple mitigation diagrams we often see in texts. This course goes beyond simply identifying these concerns but actually presents solutions using real life case studies. It also demonstrates the use of diagnostic equipment to aid one in identifying a problem and provides downloadable tools that the student can use for estimating pressure drop in mitigation systems, air flow as well as the significance of a radon emanation source. Recorded with a live audience, the virtual student benefits from the formal instruction and contributions from the seasoned professionals who participated.

C-8-106 Technical Review of Radon Measurement and Mitigation Techniques for Radon Professionals

Course ID#: CERTI-326
Applicable to: Measurement & Mitigation
Course Type: Classroom
C.E. Credits: 8

Course Description: This course covers technical aspects of radon measurement and mitigation for residential buildings as well as schools and commercial buildings. It also encompasses techniques for fixing existing structures and design parameters for the incorporation of radon control systems during the construction of homes and large buildings. Sponsored by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Cancer, Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Disease Grants program, this technical manual was developed utilizing over 30 years of experience that its authors and collaborators have had in dealing with radon in Colorado. The purpose for developing the document was to provide a technical resource for radon professionals, builders, engineer and architects allowing them to address radon in a logical and cost-effective manner. Although it was written for Colorado, the techniques and approaches apply to radon wherever one may find it, which is why we have created this course for a wider application.
