Back from ACI; Training "Nuggets"


It's good to be back from the wonderful world of Affordable Comfort. As usual, each day's classes offered numerous "nuggets" (aka - things to remember). Over the next few days, I'll be sharing some of these nuggets with you - although some of you may already know them.


One of the topics covered crawl spaces and whether to vent or not to vent. HZG has his own thoughts on this; however it was interesting to hear others' opinions. One aspect of the session that I took as a nugget - due to the fact that I had not thought of it within my daily realm - was other areas climates.


A zone map was shown showing different treatments for different climates. HZG is in climate 5, which is entirely different from the others. It interesting to think of a climate that has a 95% constant RH - and how these weatherization professionals address their issues.


So while the course was on venting, the nugget was on regional issues. What works in my market would definitely not work in others...


Note: Thanks Allison for your comment - the response has been posted.
