Why should I get certified?

Demand for energy audits is on the rise in Pennsylvania & there is a shortage of certified energy auditors to do the work.
Pennsylvania's electric companies are offering rebates for energy efficiency improvements, making it cheaper for building owners to make improvements.
Getting BPI certified distinguishes you from competitors and helps to make you an attractive candidate for employers.

What will I learn from the course?

BPI Building Analyst – Go beyond a traditional energy audit to perform comprehensive, whole-home assessments, identify comfort and durability problems at the root causes, and prescribe and prioritize solutions based on building science.

Topics include: Building Science and “The House as a System” approach, Energy Auditing principles, Diagnosing Moisture Issues, IAQ Issues, Fire Hazards, Gas Leakage Detection, CAZ (Combustion Appliance zone) Depressurization, Combustion Safety Testing, CO Testing, DHW Issues.

BPI On-line testing and Field Testing is offered at the close of the class. BPI Certifications are subject to passing both portions of the test. (5 days total, plus field test)

What is the format of the course?

The couse begins with an On-line componant thru Saturn Resources Management Learning Modules.

Students will then receive four days of combined classroom and practical training at the CCI Center, and in the field.

The BPI Building Analyst Certification exam will be given on the 5th day of the course. This certification exam will consist of a multiple choice written test followed by an individual field test scheduled soon-after.
