In lieu of meeting minutes (because we still have no Secretary) this message is sent to document an act made in last night’s meeting which had quorum.
After substantial discussion of the issue of meeting venue, Frank made a motion to revert to the prior meeting plan to have regular monthly meetings along with CE planned for them to be by Zoom, and to have planned quarterly social events, such as picnic, Inspect-out, holiday dinner to meet the clear need for in-person social interaction.
This motion was seconded by Miles. There were no dissenting votes.
I think this is a good and important move that will help in STAHI’s efforts to expand its membership and survive as an organization.
The next regular meeting will be by Zoom on 10/17/23. The next social event will be the Seasonal Home Inspect-out scheduled for a weekend at the end of October (more detailed plans to be provided by Charlie).

- Tonight’s CE Program: After Business Meeting – How Building Science Has Improved Our Construction Industry L2997-02 – By NetInspect Tom Sherman
Description:
This class is to familiarize home inspectors with a general understanding of Building Science where it relates to the control layers that assist in forming the envelope of a building. We will discuss how this ever-emerging industry has taken the blinders off the way we “used to think” regarding our building practices. Things we will be discussing:
· how air, liquid water and water vapor move within and through a building structure.
· Where we got it wrong in the past
· How “where we got it wrong” has negatively impacted our indoor air quality.
This class will include both definitions of terminologies and explanations of the components that make up a building envelope, to include the purpose of thermal boundaries, pressure boundaries, as well as the importance of proper placement and installation of these components. Also included will be discussion regarding how mechanical systems affect air movement through a building, how building components which make up a house are interrelated, and how all these systems, when correctly installed, can be utilized to create a safe comfortable environment for building dwellers. As with all of our Building Science classes, this class is designed to help guide home
