BPI Envelope/Shell Training

 

BPI’s Envelope certification is an advanced accreditation for certified Building Analysts. Together these two programs make you and your company eligible for energy efficiency and weatherization assistance programs and the proposed $6 billion HOME STAR initiative. In this course, Green Collar Crew’s expert instructors will help you develop advanced skills for measuring building air leakage and teach you how to provide solutions for optimized HV/AC performance and homeowner comfort.

 

Let us know if you’re interested in us coming to your city if you don’t see it listed. We will add locations if there is a large enough demand. We reserve the right to reschedule courses at our discretion including sessions that don’t meet the minimum attendance requirements.

 

 

 

IMPORTANT: Field Exams are administered one-on-one with the course instructor and are scheduled in the order you registered. Those who register first will be scheduled for Friday afternoon while later registrations may be scheduled for Saturday morning. Classes are Wednesday – Friday and begin at 8am with a 45 minute lunch break unless otherwise noted.

 

Class schedule is as follows:

(See alternate course schedule for June 13-15 class on registration form.)

 

Day 1 Wednesday: Field Training

Day 2 Thursday PM: Classroom Instruction

Day 3 Friday AM: Review & Written Exam

Day 3 Friday PM: Field Exams

Day 4 Saturday: Field Exams Overflow (if applicable)

 

The cost of the training course and all included materials is $995 if you register by the Wednesday one week prior to the start of the course (the cost then becomes $1,095).

 

REMEMBER! Avoid having a Saturday Field Exam by registering early!

 

 

Participating in this package course adds only 1 additional day to your training (as opposed to the full 2 to 3 day Envelope course) and saves you $195 on the price of the courses individually. This way you can knock out both programs in one week! Click here for details

If after successfully completing our course you are unable to pass the corresponding exam, you will be afforded the opportunity to repeat the course and no cost. You will however be responsible for any additional exam fees associated with retaking the test.
