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. Complete your training on your own schedule, and take exams when you want at a location near you.

Course Format:
Students complete an all-inclusive online training, following university format with clear course objectives, practical course questions, a quiz at the end of each module and a final end-of-course practice exam. We confirm that our students receive scores in the 90% range on these practice exams to ensure they are prepared for the BPI certification exam. For the field practical exams, students will be required to demonstrate their knowledge, following a step by step checklist and receive a score of 90% or better before taking the BPI certification exam. This requirement not only gives students top marks on exams for certifications, but also reduces the chance of requiring a retest.
