BPI Building Analyst Certification Package

In this module, we will discuss these three topics: What is Home Performance? What is Building Science? Define the "House as a system concept."

In this module, we will discuss heat, air, and moisture movement. We will also determine how heat is measured and how it affects the home.

In this module, we will discuss how air moves and how to address air sealing in a dwelling.

In this module, we will learn how moisture moves through a building. We will also discuss moisture's effect on comfort, building durability, and indoor air quality. We will also cover what is the great secret to home performance.

In this module, we will discuss space heating and cooling, the distribution system, water heating, and combustion science.

In this module, we will discuss energy audits and customer education, electricity and water conservation, windows and doors, and renewable energy.

In this module, we will discuss the Home Energy Score tool, what assessors look for, and what the homeowner learns from the assessment.

Here is the final exam and a review for the BPI Building Science Principles Certificate of Knowledge. You need a minimum score of 70% to pass. After completing the course, contact us at 248-450-3105 or email us at info@hvactrain.com to provide your exam code for the actual BPI exam. The BPI exam is an open book and open notes, and you can take it at your convenience. Additional testing fees will apply.

This course is self-paced, so you don’t need to be logged in at any specific time. You can get started immediately after you enroll and the course materials will remain in your account with minimum guaranteed access for 12 months (1 year) after enrollment.

This module will teach us about the tools and equipment required for home performance work.

The blower door is a fundamental tool for building science professionals. Its purpose is to simulate the air leakage of a building and to qualify "how" leaky the structure is. Review the lecture in this module as we discuss some of the basics of blower doors. 

Zone Pressure Digantoics testing is a way to evaluate when to concentrate repair efforts when performing weatherization services. Check out the lecture on Zone Pressure Diagnostics. 

The module will focus on building shell retrofitting strategies commonly used by building science professionals. 

This module will focus on Attic Ventilation and its importance in building performance. 

This module will focus on the operation of Combustion Appliances and how they need to be tested to ensure efficiency and safety. 

This module will focus on calculating the proper amounts of combustion air for fuel-burning appliances. 

The module will focus on cooling systems, which are generally the largest electrical loads in the building. 

This module will focus on HVAC Distribution systems, particularly duct systems connected to forced air furnaces and air conditioners. 

This module will focus on Indoor Air Quality and its relation to building science. 

This module will focus on evaluating Utility bills. We must establish a baseline for energy use to reduce utility costs for our customers. 

This module will focus on the energy modeling software and workscope planning. 

In this module, we will discuss supplemental lessons to ensure you have everything you need to succeed on the BPI Building Analysis Professional Examination. 

Check out these course resources. These videos will help you understand critical aspects of the building science industry. Enjoy!

You did it! Now it's time for the main event. We have a tremendous practice test to prepare you for the BPI Building Analyst Professional Online (Written) Exam. Take the practice exam. Look up the questions that you got wrong. This will help reinforce that particular study topic. When you have conducted your review, retake the practice exam. You can take the exam as many times as you like. Remember to keep the formula sheet and BPI standards handy. You may use the formula sheet and the BPI standards on the actual BPI exam.
