Diagnostic tools can turn a contentious argument about “what the facts are” into a straightforward discussion of “how to fix this”. What are the tools that stucco inspector or energy auditor is waving around? What are their uses and do they have blind spots? You will learn how moisture meters, humidity and temperature data loggers, thermography, and blower doors can be used in building diagnostics. Includes a live interactive demonstration showing how infrared cameras, pinless and pin-type moisture meters react to wet and dry materials.
Learning Objectives:
By attending this session, attendees will:
Interpret readings from moisture meters, infrared cameras, hygrometers, and other tools; and understand their use in building diagnostics
Predict three ways to fool moisture measurement tools and how to get true readings
Describe common types of data loggers and their uses
