You might want to sign up for this Building Science class June 1-5 at the Metropolitan Energy Center in Kansas City--
Great for any contractor interested in retrofits and weatherizing, especially those with an interest in becoming a Home Energy Auditor.

This class teaches use of blower door and safety tests for combustion appliances -- as well as providing an understanding of air quality, the movement of air/moisture in homes, insulation and air sealing. It also teaches how to collect and enter data into the computer software (REM Design) to prioritize improvements and predict energy savings. This training covers all the building science necessary to pass the Building Performance Institute's (BPI) Building Analyst certification, and has been certified by the state of Missouri.
