Virtual Smoke School Training
The future of Method 9 training is here
In August 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the Compliance Assurance Associates, Inc. (CAA) VirtualOpacity® platform for use in Method 9 visible emissions observations (VEO) certification. VirtualOpacity® allows Method 9 candidates to use a virtual reality (VR) platform to certify for EPA Method 9 readings.
