Building Science Helps in Understanding Relationship Between Building Envelope, HVAC, Other Systems of the Home
MALTA, N.Y. — Three leading organizations representing the home inspection, real estate, and green building industries have approved the Building Performance Institute’s (BPI’s) Building Science Principles (BSP) Certificate of Knowledge for the continuing education of their members. The BSP Certificate is earned by passing an exam on the principles of building science behind house-as-a-system energy efficiency upgrades.
The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) has approved the BSP Certificate for five continuing education credits for its member home inspectors. ASHI members can earn the credits by studying the BSP exam’s companion reference guide and passing the online exam. ASHI’s nearly 6,000 individual home inspectors represent solely owned, franchise, and multi-inspector companies.
