FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this class intended for?
This BPI Building Analyst Technician course is ideal for HVAC technicians, general contractors, home inspectors, home builders, electricians, and anyone else interested in a career in home energy auditing.
Specifically, BA-T candidates must already have earned their BPI Building Science Principles certificate. This course builds on that knowledge and teaches you how to perform diagnostic tests and collect data.
Are there any prerequisites?
Yes, you must pass the BPI Building Science Principles exam before you can become a BPI Building Analyst Technician.
Is the BPI BA-T exam included with this course?
Should I register for the online course or blended?
This decision is entirely up to you. Some items to consider:
- Both formats start with self-paced online training.
- With the online format, you'll be able to schedule the exact day/time that you want to do your remotely proctored exam.
- With the online format, you will need to have access to energy auditing equipment.
- With the blended format, you will use our equipment when you show up in person at our scheduled event.
- With the blended format, you'll get a whole day to practice using the equipment prior to taking your field exam.
What energy auditing equipment will I need?
If you register for our blended format, we will provide all equipment for the training and testing. If you register for the online (self-paced) format, you will need to buy, borrow, or rent the following equipment:
- Blower door
- Manometer (comes with blower door kit)
- Ambient CO monitor
- Mirror
- Combustion analyzer
- Pressure pan
- Fan flow meter
When you register for this course, you will automatically receive energy auditing equipment discounts from leading equipment manufacturers, such as Retrotec, The Energy Conservatory, and TruTech Tools.
How do I begin the online training?
How soon after taking my exam am I certified?
We are required to submit your field exam score to BPI within 24 hours. BPI will ultimately determine whether or not you passed the field exam and will share your certification status in their online candidate portal. BPI will mail out a paper certificate and ID card, within 4-6 weeks after certification is awarded. However, you may begin work functions immediately after you confirm your certification status online.
