Infrared Training at SMCC
- Date:
- February 27, 2012
- Location:
- SMCC, South Portland, ME
Southern Maine Community College is pleased to offer two infrared trainings in partnership with Monroe Infrared Technology. Please find course descriptions and registration information below.
The 4 day certification course is intended to give the student a depth of the knowledge necessary to perform IR investigations of single or multifamily dwellings to identify envelope, moisture, electrical and mechanical issues. The class covers IR camera operation, and basic report generation, fundamentals of IR science and heat transfer principles. Inspection techniques, tips and tricks, standards and application examples. A residential IR investigation survey can identify thermal anomalies that indicate missing insulation and insulation defects due to damage, moisture and improper installation. The IR survey can also provide indication of moisture or wetness as well as air infiltration and exfiltration. The course covers the caveats and environmental conditions necessary for a successful energy audit IR survey, as well as pitfalls to avoid.
This course requires submission of an investigation case study field assignment.
Certification
The learning objectives, contact hours, and written exam of ITC’s Level I course are based on the recommendations outlined by ANSI/ASNT CP-105 and CP-189 of the American Society for Non-Destructive Testing.
