Train with pioneering educator Chuck Dewald III and gain cutting-edge restoration techniques that will redefine your approach to large-scale drying.
Industry experts have raised concerns about the E3 metric's methodology, as presented in Chuck Dewald’s paper "Enthalpy Evaporation Evaluation – A Case for the E3 Drying Metric." Issues such as unsupported data, ambiguous terminology, and lack of scientific validation highlight the need for rigorous testing before adopting new metrics in the restoration industry.
In water damage restoration, drying strategies are essential, but an important step is often overlooked. That crucial step is thorough cleaning before drying.
Restorative drying is essential for returning building materials to their pre-loss condition efficiently and cost-effectively. Learn more about the critical steps and considerations, from accurate material assessment to advanced dehumidification techniques.
After decades of embracing sustainable practices like drying in place, the restoration industry is poised to further reduce waste and improve efficiency, but alignment between insurers and contractors is the key to success.
Chuck Dewald III walks through how to evaluate this evaporative energy transfer process, employing metrics that evaluate how the energy transfer values can change as you apply drying efforts.
