BESI Provides Training for Defective (Chinese) Drywall Inspections and Remediation
Gainesville, FL, September 11, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Building Envelope Science Institute (BESI) is a specialized institute dedicated to the advancement of education, specifically designed for the construction industry. The Institute’s first major contribution to the industry is providing a solution to the Defective (Chinese or corrosive) Drywall crisis that has affected owners in 38 States, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico. The institute reached a milestone, just nine months after being launched, it surpassed 100 certified members with nearly half being dual certified - the institute is experiencing remarkable growth.
BESI’s First Annual Conference, Training Seminar & Exhibition for Defective Drywall Inspection and Remediation is set to occur on October 24-27, 2010 at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina located at 1881 SE 17th Street Causeway in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The exhibition area is open from Sunday night through Tuesday night; some of the exhibitors include Oxford Instruments, U S Building Consultants, NanoScale Corporation, Drywall Science, and National Construction Warranty Corporation.
The institute provides quality education and training to experienced, qualified individuals; conveying the knowledge and skills necessary for performing inspections and remediation on structures that were built with defective drywall.
Since October 2009, BESI has provided the most comprehensive instruction and training for inspection and remediation of structures with Defective (Chinese) Drywall. During the training seminar, the institute provides information pertaining to other remediation methods available; however, certification is solely offered on the BESI endorsed protocol since the other methods have not required this level of training nor do they offer third-party quality control. The remediation process is based on proven science and considers major factors such as corrosion, cross-contamination of other building materials, personal belongings, indoor air quality, a national warranty, and removal of the stigma from having defective drywall. Homes remediated under this protocol meet the CPSC’s guidance and Judge Fallon’s Finding of Fact & Conclusions of Law (Case No. 09-6687). Posted on the institute’s website is a document called, “The BESI System: Understanding the Protocols for Defective Drywall” which helps explain the protocol.
The institute is presenting the X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Analyzer Certification (XRF-GP), a first. This course provides valuable information and techniques for the use of XRF as it pertains to Gypsum products. Attendees will learn about the history of XRF, radiation safety & regulation, overview of XRF systems, basic inspection techniques, mapping, extrapolation & interpretation of data, field inspection case histories, and future considerations for XRF.
About BESI: The mission of Building Envelope Science Institute, Inc. (BESI) is to provide the highest quality of training, certification programs; resources as well as overall knowledge in successfully constructing, maintaining, and restoring building envelope construction; investigation and analysis of all new products and materials which will further develop and enhance the building envelope construction; and continuing the development and formal accreditation/certification for construction industry practitioners.
