< p>Course Descri
ption:
Building Analyst training provides the foundation of building scienc
e through the framework of an audit process to understanding the "how's" an
d "why's" of building issues: ice dams, mold and indoor air quality. It is
the quintessential "house-as-a-system" in what goes on in building durabili
ty, comfort and energy usage.
This five day course provides an understanding of the BPI Building Anal
yst Standards through classroom studies and in-field activities. The in-fie
ld portion of the class will provide hands-on training with gas appliance t
esting, blower door use and set-up and proper and accurate combustion appli
ance zone testing in the state-of-the-art NYSWDA Pressure House and Heating
Lab.
The class is follow
ed by a review of the BPI standards and the 100-question (2 hour) Building
Analyst test. After the trainees successfully complete the written portion
of the test, we will schedule them for the Field test.
