Course Description: AEC Daily: Radon Gas Barriers: The ccSPF Advantage
A naturally occurring radioactive gas, radon is a silent danger to our health. Colorless and odorless, it enters homes and structures through openings in the foundation and below-grade walls, becoming trapped in basements and other poorly ventilated areas. This course looks at methods of controlling radon, how it is addressed in building codes, the advantages of closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (ccSPF) over other insulation materials, and proper installation techniques.
Explain what radon is, its health effects, and how to implement code-compliant building strategies.
Identify building code requirements for radon and soil gas control.
Distinguish between passive and active methods of radon control.
Carry out proper installation of ccSPF on floors and foundation walls.
