Course Description:
Building Analyst training provides the
foundation of building science through the framework of an audit process t
o understanding the "how's" and "why's" of building issues: ice dams, mold
and indoor air quality. It is the quintessential "house-as-a-system" in wha
t goes on in building durability, comfort and energy usage.
This five day course provides an underst
anding of the BPI Building Analyst Standards through classroom studies and
in-field activities. The in-field portion of the class will provide hands-o
n training with gas appliance testing, blower door use and set-up and prope
r and accurate combustion appliance zone testing in the state-of-the-art NY
SWDA Pressure House and Heating Lab.
The class is followed by a review of the BPI standards and the
100-question (2 hour) Building Analyst test. After the trainees successfull
y complete the written portion of the test, we will schedule them for the F
ield test.
