Preparatory Course for BPI Envelope Exam

Credentialed Class

Course Description

BPI certified professionals are specialists in their chosen field(s). By attaining your certification, you demonstrate your knowledge and skills are among the best in the country – capable of diagnosing critical performance factors in a home that impact comfort, health, safety, durability and energy efficiency. All BPI certified professional designations are based on house-as-a-system fundamental building science. The designations are not meant to take the place of your other qualifications, but to enhance them and build upon them to make you one of the most valuable contributors to the home performance industry. Our Preparatory Course for BPI Envelope Exam will teach you to quantify performance and prescribe improvements to help tighten the building envelope (shell), stop uncontrolled air leakage, and optimize comfort, durability and HVAC performance. The objectives and skills learned during this course are very similar to those of the Preparatory Course for BPI Building Analyst Exam, but with more emphasis on the building shell.
