Online Solution for Building Performance Institute Certification

Just wanted to take a minute of your time to intro­duce you to our NEW Online Solu­tion for Build­ing Per­for­mance Insti­tute (BPI) Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion required by most Energy Effi­ciency Ini­tia­tives, being launched this year.

“On Novem­ber 9, Vice Pres­i­dent Biden and DOE Sec­re­tary Chu announced a new DOE Home Energy Rat­ing Sys­tem pilot pro­gram. It will con­sist of an spe­cial energy audit after which the home­owner will receive an energy label for the home (sim­i­lar to the Energy Star label) which gives the home­owner a list of energy-saving mea­sure to make their house more energy effi­cient. The label gives the house’s cur­rent score and its new score if the upgrades are done plus an annual esti­mated total sav­ings. The audit will con­tain esti­mated sav­ings and pay­back for each rec­om­mended upgrade.The pilot will be held in locales in Mass­a­chu­setts, Alabama, Wash­ing­ton and Vir­ginia. BPI and RESNET will han­dle the train­ing required for the audi­tors for this program.

Biden also announced a pilot pro­gram called Pow­er­Saver Loans which will be a financ­ing option for energy-efficient upgrades devel­oped by FHA.” Insu­late Amer­ica Con­trac­tors across the coun­try are now scram­bling to get their BPI Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion in order to par­tic­i­pate in gov­ern­ment man­dated Home Per­for­mance with Energy Star programs.

The Energy Audit Train­ing Cen­ter pro­vides a unique solu­tion for many busy con­trac­tors with our BPI Inter­ac­tive Online train­ing course. We’ve licensed a BPI Approved Cur­ricu­lum that pro­vides the same class room style train­ing (as more expen­sive pro­grams) right on your com­puter to help you get trained and BPI cer­ti­fied in Energy Audit­ing with­out a classroom.

If you weren’t aware, sev­en­teen Ore­gon com­mu­ni­ties will launch an energy effi­ciency pro­gram this month. The Depart­ment of Energy has launched a beta test of the New Homes Rat­ings pro­gram in mul­ti­ple states and many util­ity com­pa­nies are launch­ing Home Per­for­mance with Energy Star pro­grams. In fact, states like Michi­gan and Illi­nois (to name a few) have intro­duced these pro­grams as of Jan­u­ary 1st, 2011.

Our BPI Online course mean you don’t need to take time off from your cur­rent job to attend classes or inter­rupt your busy sched­ule. You get the same BPI energy audit train­ing you would in a class­room but at a frac­tion of the cost.

In addi­tion to our BPI online courses, we pro­vide “Live” field train­ing and test­ing in an actual home – not a make-shift class­room. We pro­vide “hands-on” prac­ti­cal train­ing in the field – mak­ing our courses the per­fect fit for you!

The EATC Online BPI train­ing was designed for stu­dents to save money by elim­i­nat­ing travel costs, while allow­ing you to con­tinue your nor­mal work sched­ule and main­tain your income. You can com­plete your BPI Train­ing online with the help and sup­port of our BPI Cer­ti­fied Course Instruc­tors and Men­tors. The EATC train­ing pro­gram is a BPI approved cur­ricu­lum and is spe­cially pre­pared for online inter­ac­tive train­ing, which is designed to pro­vide the nec­es­sary cer­ti­fi­ca­tion for the Home Per­for­mance with Energy Star approved programs.
