Stop Guessing. Start Testing.
Contractor Training
Building science for the trades, taught by someone still in the field.
Classes for builders, HVAC techs, insulation and air sealing crews, remodelers and sales teams. Taught from real houses and real test results — what goes wrong, why, and how to find it.
Built around who’s in the room.
Who it’s for
- Owners — fewer callbacks, and crews who can explain what they’re doing.
- Service managers — techs who can diagnose airflow, pressure and moisture problems, not just the equipment.
- Crews — the details that decide whether air sealing and insulation actually work.
- Sales teams — how to explain building science to a homeowner without overpromising.
- Associations — a topic that brings members in, taught from the field.
Three ways to do it.
-
Shop session
One topic, at your office or shop, for your techs or crew. About an hour.
-
Half day
Two or three topics, at your office or an association meeting. Half a day.
-
Field day
On a real house with the blower door, manometer and thermal camera running. Your crew sees what the instruments show, and does the testing themselves. A full day.
Pick the topics that fit your crew.
-
Heat, air and moisture
How houses actually work, and why the obvious fix is often the wrong one.
-
Energy code and high-performance building
What the code asks for and how to build past it.
-
Air sealing and insulation details
The details that decide whether it works.
-
HVAC and duct performance
Static pressure, airflow and temperature change.
-
Moisture, humidity and durability
Dew point, and where water ends up.
-
Diagnostics
What a blower door, manometer and thermal camera actually tell you.
-
What the retest finds
Spray foam, conditioned attics and air sealing, taught from real test-outs.
Taught from the field.
Eric George has taught energy code and high-performance building classes at the local home builders association several times, and teaches building science to homeowners and contractors on the Home Performance Pro YouTube channel. He’s spent more than 20 years around insulation, weatherization and diagnostics — and he’s still testing houses every week.
