SUMMARY:Field Auditor Training Course
DESCRIPTION:Presentation Overview\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tuesday\, MAY 5 to Thursday MAY 7\, 20268:00AM-4:00PM\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The Field Audit training course consists of both theory and practical instruction. \nThe classroom portion of training emphasizes understanding the need for and function of an air barrier assembly\, the ability to inspect installation and review materials for compliance with specifications\, ABAA requirements\, and manufacturer requirements\, the ability to confirm proper installation through on-site testing and the documentation required throughout the air barrier installation process. \nThe classroom is divided into three main modules. The first\, principles and theory\, provides an introduction to air barriers\, building science\, codes and standards as well as installer ethics and responsibilities. The second module focuses on procedure\, teaching participants about testing and audits and proper documentation and reporting. The final module of the classroom section is an overview of building enclosure construction. Participants will learn about material selection\, application technology\, substrate conditions and the continuity/compatibility of components. \nThe practical portion of the training module is carried out on a job site\, or on a mock-up where an authorized ABAA representative will instruct the candidates on audit process for air barrier assemblies. \nCourse Length: 3 Days \nDescription\nThe role of the Field Auditor is to perform quality assurance audits of air barrier assemblies on new commercial and institutional construction projects during installation. Complete audit reports\, document audits with photos\, and address specific areas which have noted deficiencies and require corrective action(s). \nThis course is open to everyone with no prerequisites required. However\, it is a mandatory step for those seeking to become a licensed field auditor for ABAA’s Quality Assurance Program (QAP).\n \n \n  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Due to limited capacity\, ABAA’s training courses at the upcoming conference are now full.We encourage you to join the waitlist to receive updates on availability and explore additional training opportunities. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join Waitlist
