Building Analyst Tech
The BPI Building Analyst Technician (BA-T) certification is an early-career credential for workers in the home performance industry. This certification gives a great entrance to the industry while providing a clear path for professional growth.

A BA-T’s work includes data collection and diagnostic testing for whole-home assessments. The BA-T’s skills and knowledge include: buildings & their systems, testing & data collection, and industry standards.

Building Analyst Professional
The BPI Building Analyst Professional (BA-P) is an advanced certification for home performance professionals. A BA-P is a certified Building Analyst Technician who also conducts energy modeling, building analysis, and data evaluation in order to provide a comprehensive report with a list of prioritized home performance recommendations.

The BA-P certification is earned by passing an online written exam. An active Building Analyst Technician (BA-T) certification is required for BA-Ps. 

BPI considers the BA-T and BA-P upgrades to be a continuation of the Building Analyst certification. The BPI Building Analyst and HEP Energy Auditor are listed as example certifications in the State-Based Home Energy Efficiency Contractor Training Grants Program Administrative and Legal Requirements Document. Additionally, the BPI Building Analyst Professional and HEP Energy Auditor are recognized by DOE as credentials that taxpayers can use to claim the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C), and contractors can use to qualify for the Contractor Training Grant Program administered by the State Energy Offices.

Whole House Air Leakage Controller
The scope of this certification scheme includes the installation of specific air leakage control measures in accessible and inaccessible unconditioned and semi-conditioned spaces of existing residential homes. These specific measures represent typical air leakage control applications and incorporate the principals of air leakage control, which then can be applied to most air leakage control locations.

The installer(s) will demonstrate their abilities to reduce uncontrolled air movement by creating continuous durable air pressure boundaries in attics, side attics, crawl spaces and other accessible buffer zones by installing and connecting appropriate materials in a durable fashion.

We know that the ability to perform an assessment and make recommendations for improvements are not the only skills a home performance contractor needs on the job. That’s why every course includes a module on health & safety, professional ethics, conduct and communications.

BPI certified professionals are required to participate in ongoing Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to keep each specialist on top of emerging issues, technologies and best practices.
