Course Description:
Building
Analyst training provides the foundation of building science through the f
ramework of an audit process to understanding the "how's" and "why's" of bu
ilding issues: ice dams, mold and indoor air quality. It is the quintessent
ial "house-as-a-system" in what goes on in building durability, comfort and
energy usage.
This five d
ay course provides an understanding of the BPI Building Analyst Standards t
hrough classroom studies and in-field activities. The in-field portion of t
he class will provide hands-on training with gas appliance testing, blower
door use and set-up and proper and accurate combustion appliance zone testi
ng in the state-of-the-art NYSWDA 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. A
fter the trainees successfully complete the written portion of the test, we
will schedule them for the Field test.
