BUILDING ANALYST
This program will help you prepare for the
Building Analyst Certification exam and will
open your eyes to a new way of
thinking about residential building. You'll come
to understand how the house works as a system,
why some homes fail, and how to use the latest
building science technology to help resolve
residential heating, cooling,
base load and air leakage problems. By using a
"whole house" performance based approach, you'll
learn to address a comprehensive range of
interrelated building
issues. Learn to identify performance problems
including ice dams, mold and mildew, and issues
concerning indoor air quality. You will analyze
a building using blower door technology and
other diagnostic equipment. Learn to assess
building tightness and compute heat loss
calculations for existing and improved
conditions. Armed with this knowledge, you'll be
able to provide your clients with a more
comfortable, safe, durable and energy efficient
home. Training consists of four days of
classroom instruction and two field days of
training. Training materials are included in the
fee. This program is part of a training
incentive by NYSERDA with reimbursement of 75%
of the tuition charge upon completion of the
course. BPI testing fee is an additional $200.
There are no prerequisites, however a strong
background in residential building is
recommended. A supply list will be sent prior to
first class.
