From Ridge to Radon: A Home Performance Upgrade

Wednesday, April 9, 2025
10:30 AM – 12:00 PM  
Location: Empire C (Level 2)
CE: 1.5 CEU credits
CEU Type(s): BPI, BSI, EA, HHE, INTERNACHI, NARI, QCI, RESNET
From Ridge to Radon is a real life story of a research project that was first introduced last year at NHPC2024 by The Energy Conservatory, Community Housing Partners, and John Tooley LLC. This year in New Orleans, we plan to recap the audience of the project, then continue the story about where we are and what we have learned.
Attendees can expect to hear from John Tooley, Gary Nelson and Jake McAlpine about various topic from air sealing, permanent load reduction, radon mitigation, etc. Switching gears to Chris Hughes and Ben Knopp will take stage and cover duct leakage, HVAC airflow, system capacity, and how the house is responding to these metrics and more based on the work performed by this weatherization effort.
Last but not least, John and Gary will give valuable insight based on the encapsulation of the crawlspace.

Learning Objectives:

By attending this session, attendees will:
  • Understand home performance factors like HVAC systems, insulation improvements, radon mitigation, environmental monitoring techniques, and more!
  • Assessing and prioritizing upgrades based on a home's current energy efficiency and comfort level of performance
  • Implementing and monitoring the effectiveness of the performance upgrades over time ensuring long-term benefits and compliance
