Improve The Air Quality in Your Home

/in /by

Take action to improve the air quality in every room of your home.

“Most of us spend much of our time indoors. The air that we breathe in our homes, in schools, and in offices can put us at risk for health problems. Some pollutants can be chemicals, gases, and living organisms like mold and pests. Several sources of air pollution are in homes, schools, and offices. Some pollutants cause health problems such as sore eyes, burning in the nose and throat, headaches, or fatigue. Other pollutants cause or worsen allergies, respiratory illnesses (such as asthma), heart disease, cancer, and other serious long-term conditions. Sometimes individual pollutants at high concentrations, such as carbon monoxide, cause death.” You will find this and other great information directly at EPA’s Site.

SMART Local 265 puts on another Building Inspectors Program, training another 100 local Building Inspectors!

This course is designed to identify approved procedures for fabricating and installing Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems.  Course content emphasizes information, which will help inspectors to recognize the importance of establishing methods of inspecting HVAC components.  Proper inspection is critical to the safety, health and comfort of the general public and serves as an acknowledgement that quality workmanship is essential in terms of operation and maintenance of HVAC systems.

Program Information:
Each person attending the 8-hour course will be issued a complimentary handbook and a certificate of achievement.

In addition, each participant will have an opportunity for a: “hands-on” viewing of sample components contained within an HVAC system, AQ system, demonstration of “Good and Bad” system with meters to indicate flow, and the many publications that can be acquired through the local SMACNA Chapter and many of the manufactures of HVAC components.

If you are a Building Inspector or your Municipality is interested in attending future training seminars, please feel free view SMART Local 265 education website or contact the training center (630-668-0110) and ask for the education department.
