Training Topics: 

• Course #1 (Thursday All Day) - The Methods of Moisture
  This session will explore the critical issue of moisture transfer in buildings, a key factor in building durability, energy efficiency, and occupant health. Effective moisture control is essential to prevent issues such as mold growth, pest infestation, and material degradation. Understanding how moisture gets into the building enclosure lends to a practical understanding of the importance of three core building components: air sealing, insulation, and mechanical ventilation.
  Speakers: Drew Corbett & Kevin Scott with Moderator Nikia Beal from Energize Carolinas

• Course #2 (Thursday Morning) - HOTMA Implementation and Compliance Updates
  This session provides an in-depth review of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA) and its impact on occupancy and eligibility determinations. Participants will explore key regulatory changes, updated income and asset rules, and implementation timelines to ensure full compliance. Real-world examples and case studies will highlight common challenges and best practices for accurate application.
  Speaker: Jillian Baldwin with Moderator Diedra Perry from Baldwin & Associates
