BPI Building Analyst Professional Training & Exam

After you’ve passed the BPI Building Analyst Technician exam, upgrade your skills to become a Building Analyst Professional.

A Building Analyst Professional (BA-P) uses energy modeling software to model the energy upgrade potential of a home and to develop a scope of work. BA-P professionals use the data collected from diagnostic tests to determine how a homeowner can improve the energy efficiency of their home, lower their energy bills, and create a healthier/safe space.

The BPI BA-P Certification is nationally recognized and will underscore your expertise in home performance and energy auditing.

WHY GET BPI CERTIFIED

Benefits of Building Analyst Professional Certification

Gain the knowledge you need to be successful as a home performance professional or energy auditor.

Grow Your Business

Qualify for utility rebate programs that require a "certified home energy auditor" with BPI BA-P Certification. This will become increasingly more important as rebate funds from the Inflation Reduction Act trickle down to the states.

Highlight Your Expertise

Building on previous knowledge and skills, a Building Analyst Professional demonstrates additional abilities, such as energy modeling, project administration, in-depth analysis, and workscope development.

Better Help Your Clients

As a true professional, the BA-P credential digs deeper into understanding the home conditions and can provide a more comprehensive look using the whole house approach. You'll be able to interpret diagnostic test results and determine if further action or testing is required.
