HERS Rater BPI Building Analyst Short Course

NYSWDA in cooperation with BPCA is pleased to announce the introduction of HERS Rater BPI building Analyst Short Course for Building Performance contractors who wish to comply with NYSERDA's recently introduced HERS 3.0 standards. This intensive one day course will prepare experienced HERS raters to challenge the BPI BA written and field tests to become certified as a BPI building Analyst. This course will only be available on a quarterly basis so please sign up early.


Course Description:
Building Analyst training provides the foundation of building science through the framework of an audit process to understanding the "how's" and "why's" of building issues: ice dams, mold and indoor air quality.
