Construction Technology (20 hours/56 days)                                                       Foundation

Presented in partnership with Blue House Energy. Construction Technology covers all the bases of today’s industry; building science, indoor air quality and healthy indoor environments, air sealing and insulation, and mechanical systems.  Each of the fourteen online learning modules includes a downloadable study guide.  There is a review and quiz at the end of each module to help you gauge your understanding of the topics covered.  You can review any section or topic in any module as many times as you require.  However, once you have completed all fourteen modules within the 60 day access allowance, you take the final test, which you may only take once.  A grade of at least 75% earns you a Certificate of Achievement.  An additional benefit is that you will continue to have access for review of the online modules for a full 12 months after you complete the course.  This course is NATE recognized for 20 hours of continuing education (CEHs) applicable to re-certification.  Below are the modules:
