BPI Building Analyst Certification Course:
Students will build or enhance their skills with nationally recognized training, administered by certifi¬ed instructors. BPI trained individuals enjoy fewer customer call backs, improved customer satisfaction ratings, and an increased rate of referral from satis¬fied customers. Why? Because the rigorous, credible BPI Quality Assurance program is based on the principles of building science and the whole home approach to contracting. Students will expand their knowledge and enhance their career with BPI certi¬fications. They will understand the relationship between all the systems in the house and their ef fect on occupant health, safety, and comfort, energy efficiency and durability. They will learn the fundamentals of home performance evaluation and whole home retro¬t planning and execution with BPI training provided by certi¬fied instructors. This program focuses on the house as a system concept, including mechanical equipment and the building envelope. Once the student completes the certification, they will know how to identify the problems, their root causes and how to fi¬x them right, without compromising other systems in the house.

The number of continuing education courses offered is as an accurate reflection and as comprehensive as possible based on estimates for each college. Sustainability-related certificate programs will continue to be identified after the STARS report submission.
