Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
We work with accrediting organizations to offer CEUs at our conferences and from reading BPA Journal content.
Conference CEUs
To earn CEUs through our conferences, you must indicate which CEUs you are interested in receiving on your registration form. Onsite, you’ll receive a name badge with a QR code scanned after each workshop or session. Verification of your session attendance will be automatically sent to the Building Performance Institute (BPI) if you indicate it on your registration form AND include your BPI number.
To request non-BPI CEUs: If you wish to submit CEUs for other organizations, you must download your transcripts post-conference from our event registration site and submit them to the appropriate certifying organization.
BPA Journal CEUs
Certain educational articles on the BPA Journal are eligible for 0.5 or 0.25 CEUs each. To earn these, you must read the article in its entirety, and then complete a short quiz.
If you have any questions regarding CEUs, please contact Robyn Hall at rhall@building-performance.org or at (412) 424-0040.
