The Building Performance Institute (BPI) announced a new course this summer for individuals who perform building infiltration and duct leakage testing. The BPI Infiltration and Duct Leakage (BPI IDL) Certification is an entry-level energy auditor certification for field technicians.
BPI IDL is for HVAC contractors, builders, code officials, insulators, and energy auditors who are performing building and duct air tightness testing to meet requirements of the 2009 and 2012 energy conservation code, quality assurance, or energy efficiency programs.
BPI is still working on the final details before launching the certification but you can start preparing for the certification now. To earn the BPI Infiltration and Duct Leakage Certification you must score 85% or better on a field exam offered at a BPI field testing center.
