HEP Energy Auditor

Training Location: NYSWDA Training Center – 5869 Fisher Road, East Syracuse, NY 13057

~~Who Should Attend:~~
~~Weatherization agency post inspectors and auditors, Home Performance contractors, Program compliance field inspectors~~

Course Descript ion:
The Home Energy Professional Energy Audit or Certification is based on the Energy Auditor Job Task Analysis, an indus try-led collaboration directed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), which defines the knowledge , skills and abilities necessary to perform the job of an Energy Auditor wo rking in the Weatherization or Home Performance industries. ~~https://www. energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2018/04/f50/HEP-SF-EA-JTA_final.pdf~~

The Home Energy Professional (HEP) - Energy Auditor is a comprehensive 5-day training which covers many topics including fundamentals of home assessment, energy audit or math, federal WAP requirements, the NREL Standard Work Specifications (S WS), energy modeling and work scope development, and the use of diagnostic equipment including Blower Door, Duct Leakage Tester, Exhaust Fan Flow Mete r and Combustion Safety Testing equipment.

This training prepares students to challenge the writte n and field examinations required to achieve the BPI Home Energy Profession al Energy Auditor Certification. To achieve the BPI Home Energy Profe ssional Energy Auditor Certification, a student must receive a passing scor e on both the Written and Field Examinations. Students seeking this Certifi cation must meet additional prerequisites in order to qualify to challenge the exams (see Prerequisites section below) and must provide proof of appro val from BPI in order to take the exams.

~~Please note that for this course, the cost of each Written and Field Exams is NOT included in the price and m ust be paid for and that field tests are scheduled separately.~~

This is a lecture-lab course. Topics will be presented in a classroom setting and then followed up with student involvement in the lab. The clas s will be geared towards those individuals who have had field experience an d/or training as an energy auditor or post inspector. Student participation is very important.

The classroom/lab facility has 10 classroom training modules with an 8-hour lab practical review where st udents can work to enhance some of the basic building science, diagnostic t esting, and communication skills needed to be an effective QCI. These modul es and various props will allow the students hands on use of the diagnostic tools and equipment that they will be using in the field. Students will take one written 100-question, multiple-ch oice test at the end of the course. After passing the written test, attendees have up to one year to schedule a hands-on field te st (4 hours). Upon successful completion of these tests, each student receives their certification from BPI.

~~Thi s course is designed to prepare q ualified students to take the BPI HEP Energy Auditor certi fication exam.~~

~~To see if you qualify to take these exams, please go to BPI: EA Prerequisites and then sub mit an EA Application~~

C ourse Assessments and Evaluations:
Fo rmative assessments will be conducted by observation throughout classroom a nd lab review sessions. Redirection will be provided as observed. Opportuni ties for questions and answers are provided routinely throughout all lesson s. Successful completion of the course includes:

100% attendance and participation (exce pt in cases of extenuating circumstances, as determined by the Executive Di rector on a case-by-case basis, in which case, make-up sessions or performa nce evaluations must be approved in advance with the lead trainer)
~~A 70% average or above on written exam~~

Students successfully completing the co urse will receive a certificate of completion from NYSWDA's Weatherization Training Center. (Students who are not successful in completing this course are not excluded from tes ting in the BPI QCI Inspector certification. However, a failing grade on th is course may not guarantee success on the BPI QCI Inspector certification test.)
