Our programs provide expert information on water intrusion, residential energy use, and indoor air quality, especially radon. We train builders, contractors, public health officials, home inspectors, and other housing-related professionals.

Our courses teach radon measurement and mitigation for the National Radon Certification Exam. Our goal is to improve the long-term quality, efficiency, environmental health, and durability of residential and other buildings in Minnesota and other cold climate regions of the U.S.
