This demonstration course provides a sample week of resources from our Building Analyst and HERS Rater course, which is based upon a broad building science curriculum. It presents a solid scientific foundation upon which inspectors and auditors can build an accurate understanding of modern buildings. Each topic includes an overview of the technology, examples of typical installations and their defects, procedures for performing audits, and guidelines for analyzing potential retrofits. A balanced approach to building performance is presented here that addresses energy efficiency, building durability, and human health.
The information presented here covers the topic areas included in the BPI Building Certification Model, the RESNET Home Energy Rating Standards, and the WAP Core Competencies. Students who complete the course will possess the skills needed to sit for the BPI and RESNET exams.

Many students find it useful to review these materials after the course has been completed in preparation for their BPI Building Analyst or RESNET National HERS Rater exams. (Because the HERS Rater Exam is open book and administred online, you may be able to access this area while taking the exam. Though we offer no guarantee of this.)

You will have access to the resources for three months from the time of your first paid access. If you would like to renew after that period has expired, simply re-enroll in this course at the end of the three month period.
