BPI Envelope-Shell Professional Training

Now that you have received your BPI Building Analyst Certification it's time to enhance your skills and propel yourself and your company ahead of the competition. CleanEdison's BPI Envelope Professional certification course is a BPI residential specialization that focuses on the building thermal and pressure boundaries and the ways to enhance the envelope through insulation and airsealing techniques.

As an individual this course will prepare you to understand not only how to analyze a home, but help you to understand why the process is so important. Every home is different and it is important to understand not only what is happening, but why problems related to the building envelope such as moisture, ice dams, mildew and drafts were created in the first place.

The BPI Envelope certification in conjunction with the Building Analyst certification will make your company eligible to apply for Accreditation. If your firm is accredited or considering accreditation, you must have at least one employee with the envelope certification if you wish to perform insulation and air sealing work.

Why?

This course will help you understand both how to analyze a home and why the process is so important. Every home is very different, so it is crucial to not only be able to recognize what is happening, but why problems related to the building envelope such as moisture, ice dams, mildew and drafts were created in the first place. The Envelope Certification in conjunction with the Building Analyst certification will make your company eligible to apply for Accreditation (if your company is in the relative field i.e. insulation, weatherization, window installation company etc.). Accreditation can be useful for acquiring various incentives throughout each state.

Testimonials

I found the course was on the mark with the required prerequisites. A number of organizations are offering courses both locally and on line. On-line courses provide no field mentoring or exam provisions and I could not locate any local course that provided both written and field exams. Since June, Cleanedison was able to provide additional field mentoring and testing for my BPI Envelope and Heating Professional certification. Cleanedison is providing a much needed service with the ability to both train and certify home performance professionals.
