  • CEU on Radon for North American Architects
    Hi Bob,
    There is no true national building code, just a patchwork of adoptions, mostly of the IRC Appendix F. See this page on the AARST website for an overview. I would be glad to help you with more background. If you'd like, let's set up a call.

    Hi Lynda,
    Possession of a credential from NRPP is not a prerequisite for joining AARST.

  • Radon and Phase I Environmental Site Assessments
    Radon testing, followed by mitigation if needed, is mandatory in assessments for multifamily loan transactions backed by US Department of Housing and Urban Development / Federal Housing Administration, as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are Government-Sponsored Enterprises in public receivership under the Federal Housing Finance Agency. These three entities’ lending pretty much covers the US multifamily lending market.
    HUD’s policy is the most comprehensive; the latest draft, to take effect this fall, is posted at https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/Housing/documents/2020mapguifefrafttitlepgtocs.pdf Similar radon policy is in effect for HUD loans for residential care facilities.
