MALTA, N.Y. — The Building Performance Institute Inc. (BPI) launched its Building Science Principles (BSP) Certificate of Knowledge and companion reference guide Jan. 7 to meet demand for a method of verifying basic building science knowledge in the home-performance and energy-efficiency retrofit fields.
“The Building Science Principles certificate is a first step into the world of home performance,” said Larry Zarker, CEO, BPI. “It’s for those in the residential building trades and anyone interested in a career in sustainability who needs to know how homes work, but don’t need the hands-on technical skills required of BPI-certified professionals.”
