Course Description
The Home Energy Professional (HEP) Energy Auditor certification is offered by BPI and is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR).
The HEP Energy Auditor certification demonstrates advanced competency through rigorous online and field exams, and work experience prerequisites.
Once certified, you will be able to evaluate a home’s energy efficiency and durability, as well as its impact on occupant health and safety. You will gain in-depth knowledge of how to use diagnostic equipment and modeling software to identify energy-saving opportunities, produce an audit report, and develop a prioritized scope of work for your client.
The HEP Energy Auditor is listed as an example certification in the State-Based Home Energy Efficiency Contractor Training Grants Program Administrative and Legal Requirements Document. Additionally, HEP Energy Auditor is recognized by DOE as a credential 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.
Bonus: When you have earned the Energy Auditor certification, BPI will also grant the Building Analyst Technician (BA-T) and Building Analyst Professional (BA-P) certifications for an administrative fee.
The U.S. Department of Energy has recognized BPI’s Building Analyst Professional certification as Energy Skilled in the Single Family Home Energy Audit category.
