If you visit homes to evaluate for possible health impacts on the occupants, your knowledge of environmental exposure risks is critical. To help prepare you for this work, the “Healthy Home Assessments – Principles & Practice” course is designed to introduce students to the process of assessing and characterizing basic environmental and safety risks in homes. The course tuition includes the BPI Healthy Housing Principles Reference Guide along with several important reference publications to provide you with a wealth of resources to utilize in learning about healthy housing and environmental assessment concepts.

This advanced training is a comprehensive, interactive, and hands-on course that teaches you the essential knowledge of the eight healthy housing principles and how to apply these important concepts when assessing and characterizing health and safety risks in homes. This course will introduce you to how to take an environmental history from clients, as well as in-home education, basic building science for home assessors, visual assessment techniques, identifying and prioritizing health and safety concerns, basic environmental measurement and sampling, and risk communication and assessment reporting best practices. When taught as a virtual class, the students will spend some time practicing a home environmental assessment using photos to represent a home applying the techniques learned. This course is partly based on the Healthy Housing Principles Reference Guide from the Building Performance Institute (BPI). This comprehensive guide is now recommended reading for anyone who touches a home.
