HEP Energy Auditor

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

Who Should Attend:

Weatherization agency post inspectors and auditors, Home Performan ce contractors, Program compliance field inspectors

&nb sp;

Course Description:

The Home Energy Professional Energy Auditor Certification is based on the Energy Auditor Job Task Analysis, an industry-led collaboratio n directed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), which defines the knowledge, skills and abiliti es necessary to perform the job of an Energy Auditor working in the Weather ization 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 4.5-day training wh ich covers many topics including fundamentals of home assessment, energy au ditor math, federal WAP requirements, the NREL Standard Work Specifications (SWS), energy modeling and work scope development, and the use of diagnost ic equipment including Blower Door, Duct Leakage Tester, Exhaust Fan Flow M eter and Combustion Safety Testing equipment.

This training prepares s tudents to challenge the written and field examinations required to achieve the BPI Home Energy Professional Energy Auditor Certification. To ac hieve the BPI Home Energy Professional Energy Auditor Certification, a stud ent must receive a passing score on both the Written and Field Examinations . Students seeking this Certification must meet additional prerequisites in order to qualify to challenge the exams (see Prerequisites section below) and must provide proof of approval from BPI in order to take the exams.

Please n ote that for this course, the cost of each Written and Field Exams is NOT i ncluded in the price and must be paid for and that field tests are schedule d separately.

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

The classroom /lab facility has 10 classroom training modules with an 8-hour lab practica l review where students can work to enhance some of the basic building scie nce, diagnostic testing, and communication skills needed to be an effective QCI. These modules 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-ques tion, multiple-choice test at the end of the course. After passing the written test, attendees have up to one year to schedule a hands-on field test (3 1/2 hours). Upon successful completion of thes e tests, each student receives their certification from BPI.

This c ourse is designed to prepare qual ified students to take the BPI HEP Energy Auditor certific ation exam.

To see if you qualify to ta ke these exams, please go to BPI: EA Prerequisites and then submit an EA Application

Course Assessments and Evaluations:
Formative assessments wil l be conducted by observation throughout classroom and lab review sessions. Redirection will be provided as observed. Opportunities for questions and answers are provided routinely throughout all lessons. Successful completio n of the course includes:

100% attendance and participation (except in cases of extenuating ci rcumstances, as determined by the Executive Director on a case-by-case basi s, in which case, make-up sessions or performance evaluations must be appro ved in advance with the lead trainer)
A 70% average or above on written exam

Students successfully completing the course 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 testing in the BPI QCI Inspector certi fication. However, a failing grade on this course may not guarantee success on the BPI QCI Inspector certification test.)
