As we mentioned back in our Updates & Happenings at SLS Construction, we were pursuing Certification from both BPI & RESNET for Energy Auditing & Consulting Services that we are adding. Well, as of July 9th I finally completed the final step to become one of RESNET’s newest raters. In our case, we are Certified […]

Well, on Saturday the 2nd we finally received one of the two certifications from BPI that we are currently pursuing. For a recap of the BPI Building […]
Day’s 3 & 4: BPI Building Analyst Training
Well just like the RESNET class I wrote about last week, I decided to combine the last two days of my BPI Building Analyst training from Clean Edison together. I am also happily writing this article from the comfort of my house this time, instead of the hotel room. With that being said, sorry folks, I will not be divulging any of the test questions.
Day 2: BPI Building Analyst Training
Oops, did we forget some equipment? Today was supposed to be split ½ in the classroom & ½ doing the field training, but without a manometer, there goes any chance of doing any field training. Overall, that was probably a fortunate thing, seeing it was raining all day here in Jersey. Needless to say, the […]
Day 1: BPI Building Analyst Training
Another week, another class… this time I am in a BPI Building Analyst class being taught by Thabani Banda of Clean Edison. As we mentioned in the RESNET Series, we are going to look into what, if any differences there are between the RESNET & BPI Certifications. We are also going to compare the differences in the training between one of Atlanta’s premium “green” providers and trainers and one of BPI’s top trainers.
Day’s 5 & 6: RESNET HERS Training
Yes folks, I know it’s only Day 5, but I am going to combine tomorrows post into todays. I am going to do this for a few reasons; Number 1 tomorrow is the final test day, and that is all we will be working on. Number 2, there are a few updates on the RRP […]
Day 4: RESNET HERS training
Today can easily be summed up into three areas; reviewing the homework and test house data we got, some marketing from Southface, and how to use and enter data in the RESNET program. Wow, that was a quick recap… Hmmm, how about we cover what the components of a HERS Rating are & what to expect when we arrive to perform this specific rating?
Day 3: RESNET HERS Training
Woo Hoo – 3 days down and 3 to go. Today we actually got to go out in the field and do the measurements for 1 of the 2 field tests we need to accomplish. For a small place (1111 SF), it sure had enough twists and turns to make ones head almost spin, but […]
Day 2: RESNET HERS Training
Got to love it… first they state that the math part is over, nah… what they really meant, is that now they are going to introduce new formulas and simply just call it practical applications. My goodness, the last time I had to deal with this much math using just a calculator or pen and paper […]
Day 1: RESNET HERS Training
Well after a few of my fellow friends on Twitter, and a few others that follow the HRC encouraged me to blog about my training for RESNET HERS & BPI, I decided to go for it. Part of the interest, revolves around what the differences really are between the two programs, and in this case […]
