The Essentials for Healthy Homes Practitioners
course brings together a
diverse mix of housing and health professionals to promote practical and
cost-effective methods for making homes healthier. A major strength of the
course is the peer-to-peer learning that occurs between students. Through
exercises, demonstrations and discussions, students better understand the
roles, perceptions and challenges that their counterparts face.
And they identify ways to coordinate their work to better protect residents from
environmental and safety hazards in the home.
Energy auditors provide a valuable service to
property owners and residents by identifying opportunities to save energy and
money. Often the problems they identify also contribute to moisture
problems, pest problems and contaminates such as lead dust. If remediation
is not done
properly, it could also create potential environmental hazards. Energy
auditors will benefit from the course because it will help them:
-
Identify connections between the structural
problems they find and potential health impacts to better
convince clients of the need to address shortcomings;
-
Expand into new, potentially lucrative business
opportunities helping clients resolve healthy homes problems;
-
Develop networks among the public health and
housing community to strengthen the quality of services; and
-
Gain insight into the perspectives of nurses,
code inspectors, environmental health specialists, community-based
organizations, and pest management professionals that help all be more
effective.
