> Course Basics: The Building Performance Institute (BPI) Building Analyst course will teach you the basic principles of physics and building science necessary to assess energy efficiency in a home, while monitoring conditions that have a direct impact on health and safety. BPI standards emphasize the 'house-as-a-system' method to inspecting a home. You will learn how to use diagnostic equipment like the blower door, infrared imaging and the combustion analyzer. This course is a balance of classroom presentations, field exercises, and self-study materials. Certification test included = jobs!
