Why BPI Affiliation & Certification?
What is a BPI affiliate? A BPI affiliation is issued by the Building Performance Institute to organizations like HET Institute, which provide services such as BPI Building Analyst Training, proctoring of written and field competency examinations, mentoring and quality assurance guidance. As a BPI affiliate, we will train you in both theory (classroom) and fieldwork in order to qualify as a Certified Building Analyst I. Building Analysts are schooled to fully appreciate that the relationship between all the interconnected systems of a house is key to its overall performance, efficiency, and durability. Because optimal home performance is essential to the health, safety, and comfort of its occupants, certified Building Performance Institute professionals are trained to quickly identify, diagnose and solve any home performance based problems.
What is BPI?
The Building Performance Institute is recognized internationally as a leader in the building performance industry and continues to set the standard in the field. Through the credentialing of individuals and organizations, the Building Performance Institute ensures that a vigorous quality assurance program is maintained. BPI accredited analysts are among the most highly respected in the business.
The Building Performance Institute was founded in 1993 and regularly creates and updates the technical requirements pertaining to the building performance industry. By working closely with building performance stakeholders, BPI makes certain that the industry bar remains high.
Who Recognizes BPI Standards?
BPI standards are recognized nationally. As such, an increasing number of home energy professionals are opting to get their BPI certification in addition to their other qualifications. Many available utility programs now require that consumers have audits and retrofit work (conforming to BPI standards) done by BPI certified analysts and contractors in order to qualify for their incentive or rebate programs. Furthermore, a growing number of communities (Austin, TX and Montgomery County, MD for example) now require home energy audits by a certified energy auditor on all homes at the time of sale. Other local utilities are offering discounts or reimbursement for energy audits and retrofits. In regard to BPI standards, this represents a tremendous opportunity for those analysts who are qualified to perform these audits.

What Others Have To Say:
I have taken the RESNET Level I and II Home Energy Survey Professional and the BPI Building Analyst I Training with Dallas Jones of the Home Energy Team Institute. My training experience was exceptional. Dallas brings both his knowledge of home energy and his field experience into the classroom and presents it in an organized, easy to follow manner. The field demonstrations of the diagnostic equipment and techniques presented by Dallas provided me with a wealth of knowledge. I would highly recommend Dallas Jones and the Home Energy Team Institute to anyone who is considering training in the home energy field.
