Through the Training Center's education programs, energy professionals gain expert training in the creation of healthier, safer, more energy-efficient living and working environments. Since 1999, the Training Center has reached more than 40,000 students across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America.

About the Training Center

Our experienced team of BPI, RESNET, and EarthCraft-certified trainers provides online and instructor-led courses at CHP’s state-of-the-art, 12,600-square-foot facility. Technicians are taught practices and techniques that test and reduce energy consumption, address health and safety concerns, and determine how the building shell, appliances, and occupants interact with one another.
