The National Insulation Association Offers Energy Appraisals and Insulation Inspection Certifications

As the insulation industry’s leader in education, the National Insulation Association (NIA) is committed to increasing understanding of the power of insulation for the construction industry and insulation end users.

NIA’s two certifications provide the tools for certified professionals to offer a data-backed mechanism to quantify insulation’s remarkable ROI and for inspectors to examine insulation installations and to identify potential areas of concern during initial installation or ongoing operations.

NIA’s Thermal Insulation Inspector Certification™ educates participants on how to evaluate installation work and determine whether it is compliant with specifications. Upcoming course dates:

• May 10–11 and May 16–17, 2022 (Virtual)
• October 4–7, 2022 (In-person in Houston, Texas)
• November 30–December 1 and December 7–8, 2022 (Virtual)

NIA’s Insulation Energy Appraisal Program™ provides training on how to determine the optimal insulation thickness and the corresponding energy and dollar savings for a project. Upcoming course dates:

• June 8–9, 2022
• November 8–9, 2022

Insulation is a proven method for reducing carbon and GHG emissions while saving energy, increasing process productivity, providing a safer and more productive work environment, and supporting sustainable design goals, among a host of other benefits. “From saving energy to improving efficiency to reducing carbon emissions, the insulation industry and NIA’s certifications are part of the energy conservation solution,” said NIA Executive Vice President/CEO Michele M. Jones.
