The Milwaukee Chapter of the IAQA will hold a Workshop in April


Milwaukee, WI - March 24, 2009 - The Milwaukee Chapter of the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) will hold another informative workshop on April 23, 2009.  Presentation topics are: "The Mold Insurance Crisis Revisited" and "Testing HEPA Scrubbers, NAMS and Vacuums".

THE MOLD INSURANCE CRISIS: In 2004 the insurance industry introduced universal mold exclusions. These exclusions affect the insurance of all IAQA members and their customers.  An expert, professional educator from the insurance industry will trace the impact of these problematic exclusions for consultants, contractors and their customers.  Understanding the far-ranging impacts of these exclusions will enable attendees to better manage their own risks and offer related advice to their clients.  

TESTING HEPA-FILTERED DEVICES: Having trouble achieving "clearance"? Are your HEPA-filtered devices performing as they should? Although HEPA filter elements are certified as such in the factory, devices that HEPA filters are placed into vary tremendously. Physical configuration, cleanability, the nature of the seal and holding mechanism all contribute to degraded performance in the field. We'll share our experience in testing the complete device - with HEPA filters installed - for particle removal efficiency.

For more information regarding the workshop, please contact Wane A. Baker, Milwaukee Chapter Director, at (608) 784-2270.  Or email your reservation to WAB@MichaelsEngineering.com.

The workshop will be held at:
West Allis Center
1126 South 70th Street
West Allis, WI 53214

This workshop has been approved for continuing education and certification maintenance points by the American Indoor Air Quality Council (AmIAQ), the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), and the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH).
