Course Description:
<
/span>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 a
nd indoor air quality. It is the quintessential "house-as-a-system" in what
goes on in building durability, comfort and energy usage.
This five day course provides an understan
ding of the BPI Building Analyst Standards through classroom studies and in
-field activities. The in-field portion of the class will provide hands-on
training with gas appliance testing, blower door use and set-up and proper
and accurate combustion appliance zone testing in the state-of-the-art NYSW
DA Pressure House and Heating Lab.
The class is followed by a review of the BPI standards and the 10
0-question (2 hour) Building Analyst test. After the trainees successfully
complete the written portion of the test, we will schedule them for the Fie
ld test.
