Course Title: Conducting Radon Surveys in Schools & Large Buildings - Online Course
Course ID#: CNRPP-1008
Course Description: This course, approved by the C-NRPP for 4 educational CE credits, expands the radon measurement professional's skills beyond testing residential structures to be able to take advantage of the expanding market of conducting surveys in large buildings such as schools and apartment buildings. Testing large buildings entails a lot more than taking using more test devices. It is necessary to be able to convey to the client why multiple locations need to be tested; be able to implement communication plans for occupants; and to understand special approaches to interpreting results to provide the best value to the client while shielding you from downstream liabilities. This course, recorded at a live classroom session at the National Radon Conference in Vancouver in April, 2015 deals with all of these issues and more. It also provides sample notices, log sheets and other tools you will need to fully implement a large survey. You will be able to watch and listen to the lecture as well as benefit from the poignant questions posed by the live audience, consisting of radon professionals just like you.

Course Title: Radon: Train the Speaker Canada
Course ID#: CNRPP-1009
Course Description: This four hour continuing education course as approved by the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program will assist the radon professional in delivering meaningful presentations to homeowners, real estate professionals, home builders, lenders — you name it. Getting out and providing short presentations on radon is a great way to increase public awareness and a great way to present yourself as a radon professional to potential clients. However, there are some pitfalls that you can easily fall into, which is why this course can help you. With this course being recorded at the April 2015 National Radon Conference in Vancouver you will benefit from techniques that have proven successful by the instructor as well as interaction with radon professionals who participated in the session. You will learn some effective techniques, and will be provided with a set of PowerPoint slides which you can use as a foundation when delivering your programs.

Course Title: Addressing Radon Decay Products - Another Tool in the Toolbox
Course ID#: CNRPP-1011
Course Description: Addressing Radon Decay Products - Another Tool in the Toolbox It is well known that the mechanism by which radon exposure increases the potential of lung cancer is alpha release from the short-lived decay products of radon that can enter the lungs during respiration. It is also well known, or at least included in the in entry level exams, that the amount of these decay products available for respiration can vary due to air circulation rates, particulate levels, etc. (aka the equilibrium factor). This course will explore from a practical standpoint how radon decay products are measured as well as how RDP reduction can enhance soil gas remediation by reducing radon risks to very low levels.

Course ID#: CNRPP-1042
Course Description: November is National Radon Month and the Canadian Association of Consulting Energy Advisors (CACEA), in partnership with the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (CARST), has designed a training program for Energy Advisors. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in soil, rock, and water, is invisible, odourless, and tasteless, and is the #1 cause of lung cancer after smoking. Health Canada recommends that all homes be tested for radon, and it is referenced in National, Provincial, and Territorial Building Codes. EAs should understand the science, impact, and solutions as they are in an ideal position to provide guidance and information about this dangerous substance. EAs will learn: The sources and health implications Building science considerations Retrofit and new construction approaches Testing, mitigation solutions, and control measures Their responsibilities and contributions Current research and resources Meet the Presenters: Andrew Laroche, AmeriSpec of Mississauga (Facilitator) Anne-Marie Nicol PhD, Simon Fraser University Toby Smith MEA, Building Knowledge Canada Pam Warkentin, Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (CARST) Registration CACEA Members: Free (CEC = 2) Non-members: $35 plus tax Please note that this online event will take place in the Eastern Time Zone.

Course Title: The intersection of VOC mitigation and Radon, with a Live Demonstration
Course ID#: CNRPP-1045
Course Description: Designing and installing a vapour mitigation system employs the same general techniques, whether for radon or VOCs. Radon professionals want to reduce indoor air concentrations, so that is what they measure. VOC professionals also want to reduce indoor air concentrations but worry about background sources biasing the indoor air sample, and often begin by sampling the subslab vapours and developing attenuation factors. In this course we will provide an introduction to VOC mitigation, talk about using radon as a tool for VOC mitigation, provide some innovative techniques that could be utilized for radon mitigation and then provide a tabletop, hands-on demonstration that showcases a mitigation system, the influences of cracks in the slab and the effects of depressurization/ pressurization of a building on the transport of vapours into a house.

Course Title: Practical Aspects of Radon Progeny Measurement
Course ID#: CNRPP-1046
Course Description: The radioactive decay of radon gas gives rise to a series of short-lived radionuclides referred to as radon progeny. It is the airborne radioactive radon progeny which poses the greatest inhalation health risk to those exposed to radon gas in homes, workplaces, and public buildings. Radon progeny measurement is more complex than radon gas measurement, requiring more sophisticated instrumentation and sampling methods. Because radon gas is comparatively easier to measure, it is used as a surrogate measurement for radon progeny in assessing environmental conditions and exposure risk. In this continuing education session, we will explore the properties of radon progeny, environmental factors affecting exposure and measurement, and common measurement techniques. To reinforce learning objectives, grab sampling techniques will be demonstrated in the education session.
