In this course, you’ll learn specific methods to tighten the building envelope in order to reduce energy loss from air leakage and minimize pollutants and allergens caused by air migration. You will also learn how to improve thermal comfort and energy efficiency through the proper installation of dense-pack insulation materials.

This course prepares you to pass the ENERGY STAR Version 3 exam. This engaging multimedia course covers the program requirements you need to work with builders to comply with ENERGY STAR for Homes Version 3 guidelines and perform certification inspections.

This is an advanced certification for experienced professionals. The course provides all of the knowledge, skills and abilities you’ll need to perform the tasks required by a BPI Quality Control Inspector (QCI).

In this course, you will learn how to perform the tasks of a DOE-approved Home Energy Professional (HEP) Energy Auditor. The HEP Energy Auditor certification is an advanced certification and one of the residential energy efficiency industry’s highest credentials. Individuals holding the HEP Energy Auditor certification are trusted to have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to complete a residential energy audit with the utmost competence. Set yourself apart from the rest of the pack with this advanced certification.

The BPI Multifamily Building Analyst training prepares you to conduct energy audits and prepare work scope recommendations for multifamily residential buildings. You will learn building science concepts as they apply to multifamily housing, as well as practical applications to save energy, improve comfort and increase the multifamily building’s safety and durability.

In the self-paced online course you will learn the principles of air movement and causes of air leaks, how ventilation relates to overall air leakage in a home, and ventilation system requirements. During our 30-minute IDL Field Exam-Prep Video, Dallas Jones demonstrates, step-by-step, how to perform each of the tasks required to successfully pass BPI’s IDL Exam.

As a BPI Healthy Home Evaluator (HHE) you will assesses environmental health and safety hazards in homes and provide recommendations to address those hazards. In this course you will build upon your knowledge as a BPI Building Analyst, Multifamily Building Analyst, HEP Energy Auditor, or HEP Quality Control Inspector (QCI) to add environmental risk assessment to your energy audits.

The course also covers why the diagnostic process is so important, why problems related to the building shell such as moisture, ice dams, mildew and drafts were a problem in the first place – and more importantly, how to resolve them. Complete your training on your own schedule, and take exams when you want at a location near you.

You’ll learn everything you need to know to perform a comprehensive building analysis and develop prioritized retrofit work-scope recommendations, including step-by-step energy audit & diagnostic procedures, and heat loss & savings calculations. The course also covers why the diagnostic process is so important, why problems related to the building shell such as moisture, ice dams, mildew and drafts were a problem in the first place -and more importantly, how to resolve them.

This course builds upon the BPI Building Analyst Course to provide a better understanding of why the diagnostic process is so important, why problems related to the building shell such as moisture, ice dams, mildew and drafts were a problem in the first place – and more importantly, how to resolve them.

This course is a MUST for anyone entering the home performance industry, whether you’re a seasoned contractor, sales or support staff, supervisor, distributor or manufacturer.
