Students will have the opportunity to observe and participate in live demonstrations that will reinforce their understanding of the following important radon mitigation concepts.
- How a Radon Mitigation System Influences the Pressure Under the Slab
- How Diagnostic Sub-slab Pressure Field Extension Tests are Performed
- How Different Radon Fan Models Perform in Comparison to the Diagnostic Testing that was Done
- How Much Wattage Each Radon Fan Uses
