BPI - Building Science Principles


Building Science Principles (BSP) certificate is now a prerequisite for the new Building Analyst - Technician certification. With a 1 day prep class (or self study), one must pass a100 question Online Exam to earn the certificate.

Earning the Building Science Principles certificate is your first step into the world of energy efficient home performance.

The course is a broad overview of building science, residential construction, and home performance. Most people don’t know what they don’t know. This class will introduce and explore systems and interactions that should be considered when modifying or improving homes.

Building science demonstrates how different systems interact to affect the home’s overall performance. Understand the relationship between the building envelope, heating, A/C, insulation, mechanical ventilation, lighting, appliances, and other home systems. Learn how all of these systems affect the comfort, health & safety of occupants, and durability & efficiency of the home.

This non-technical BPI certificate is first step toward understanding and improving whole-house building performance - perfect for sales people, admin personnel, architects, contractors, home inspectors, or anyone who would like to know about building performance, but may not go on to learn home diagnostic testing.

NEED TO RE-CERTIFY? 

Continuing education is required to maintaining your BPI certification.

We have several classes approved by BPI for Continuing Education Units (CEU's). 

All BPI Certified Professionals are required to re-certify every 3 years. You can bypass parts of the BPI recertification process by earning enough CEU's and documenting your on-the-job experience.
