Dr. Allison Bailes launched a new course today: 7 Steps to Good Indoor Air Quality

About this course

This 10-hour course covers PV in the 2020 National Electric Code (NEC). It is an excellent way to understand how the NEC applies to PV systems. 

In this class, Sean White and Bill Brooks explain the NEC in a way that is as fun as possible for a large, very technical book. This course is jam-packed with NEC insight, interpretation, and comparison to past versions.

I took almost entirely the Sean White courses studying for my NABCEP PVIP.. it is a very involved test, but I felt well prepared, and the upbeat tone of the classes kept me in a pretty good humor as I went over all my notes afterwards to review. Much Appreciation to Sean, Bill and Heatspring!

Sean explains things clearly and keeps it practical, I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the code without feeling overwhelmed.
