IRISBS351 Building Science Certification Training
What is Building Science?
Infrared building science is
the application of infrared (IR) thermographic inspection techniques as a
powerful and noninvasive means of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of
buildings. IR cameras in the hands of trained thermographers can provide
immediate documentation of as-built, pre- and post-restoration conditions,
post-casualty Cause and Origin data, plumbing and building envelope water
leakage, post-flood and fire water-damaged material assessment, energy use
inefficiency, and electrical problems.
Insurance companies,
restoration firms, building owners, and thermographers already involved in
building maintenance and operations require a thorough applications training
curriculum leading to certification in infrared building science. In response,
InfraRed Imaging Solutions Inc. (IRIS)
through the Infrared Training Center (ITC) — the global leader in infrared
training — and the Building Science Institute (BSI)
offers the IRISBS351 Building Science Certification Training Course for
technicians, supervisors, and those wishing to receive Building Science
Certification. These courses address the Best Practices of the cleaning and
restoration industry with content drawn from extensive field experience in
thermography and building construction. They include references to actual cases
illustrating how IR thermography has pinpointed sources of building moisture,
provided definitive Cause and Origin data, enabled energy savings, and prevented
incipient catastrophes. Like all ITC courses, the Building Science series
emphasizes practical real-world skill building, and includes infrared theory
relevant to these skills.
IRISBS 351 - Certification in Infrared Building
Science
This three-and-a-half day course includes all lecture and laboratory components
taught in IRBS-101 and IRBS-201, plus intensive one-on-one instruction in camera
operation and building fundamentals as required by individual students to
achieve certification level skills.
Tuition - A registration fee of $1495* USD includes
the 3.5 day infrared training program costs, all breakfasts/lunches and Building
Science course materials.
