BPI Training Affiliates Offering Rater Training Module on Combustion Safety Testing and Preparing a Work Order

RESNET has entered into an agreement where BPI has developed a RESNET Rater supplemental Training Module for raters to be certified to conduct combustion testing and preparation of a work order.

The Home Star legislation creates a path for RESNET certified Raters and BPI Building Analysts to conduct the required energy audit, testing, calculation of energy savings and testing out for Gold Star rebates. Currently a rater has all the qualifications to undertake this task except for combustion safety testing and preparing a work order. RESNET's Technical Committee is currently developing standards for these activities but the process of adopting their product as a part of the RESNET standards will take time. ln the meantime, raters will need to receive lhe training and recognition needed to compete in this field. BPI Affiliate Training organizations have the opportunity to offer a "RESNET Rater Supplemental Training Module". Through this training BPI's affiliates will offer training courses for RESNET raters to prepare them in combustion safety lesling and work scope development necessary to challenge the BPI Building Analyst exams. BPI already waives the 50 questions of building science for RESNET Raters but would offer the 50 question B.A. test for the specialty components and the field test. BPI would also offer RESNET raters a special bulk pricing by charging its affiliates only $150 for the combined written and field tests.

BPI has reached out to its Affiliate organizations for the availability of RESNET Rater Supplemental Training Module opportunities.
