The Building Envelope Science Institute Provides Comprehensive Defective “Chinese” Drywall Certification Course in Tampa, Florida

Gainesville, FL, January 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Building Envelope Science Institute (BESI) provides the most comprehensive training (to-date) for the inspection and remediation processes, offering a solution for the Defective (Chinese) Drywall crisis; the methodology is based on proven science and field experience.

The Building Envelope Science Institute has been leading the way for inspection and remediation of structures with Defective Drywall over the past year since introducing one of the first protocols providing solutions to the Defective Drywall crisis that has affected owners in 41 States, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico. The institute remains the leader in the industry for providing comprehensive, relevant education and certification for qualified individuals through its commitment to investigate new methods, techniques, science or products that may provide valid relief for those owners effected by the Defective Drywall which are lacking a supportive response by the Obama administration or Congress to provide a solution.

The extensive training for remediation of defective drywall being taught by BESI considers the following major factors: corrosion, cross-contamination of other building materials, personal belongings, indoor air quality monitoring, a national warranty (not an insurance policy), and removal of the stigma from having defective drywall. The term “defective” drywall has many synonyms such as corrosive, tainted, reactive, or Chinese drywall; but all refer to gypsum board (foreign and domestic) that appears to be the source of off-gassing which corrodes copper wiring and cross contaminates other building materials and personal belongings.

The Defective Drywall inspection and remediation certification courses will be held on February 10-11, 2011 at the Hilton Garden Inn Tamp Ybor Historic District in Tampa, Florida. Those that earn a designation as a remediator or consultant through the institute will have attended a two-day course with a written final exam; inspectors will have attend a one-day course with a written final exam; and there are prerequisites such as years of experience in the industry and being in good standing with the state if they are licensed (required for those performing remediation). Visit the institute’s “Nationwide Directory of Members” to locate qualified inspectors and remediators for defective (Chinese) drywall.

This American Council for Accredited Certification (ACAC) has approved our two-day course for sixteen (16) recertification credits (Registration #10092301), as noted on their website.
