BPI Building Analyst Exam
EXAM COVERAGE
The BPI Building Analyst Exam covers the principles and practices of
residential energy efficiency and building performance assessment.
The exam includes topics such as building science fundamentals, heat
transfer, air flow, moisture control, and indoor air quality. It also
evaluates knowledge of energy auditing procedures, diagnostic
testing methods such as blower door testing and combustion safety
testing, and identification of building performance problems.
Additional areas include insulation systems, HVAC system
performance, ventilation requirements, safety protocols, and
recommended energy conservation improvements. The exam
emphasizes whole-house assessment, energy efficiency strategies,
building durability, and occupant health and safety.
