eRenewable Resource Institute

Building science is the integrated approach to assessing, correcting and building residential structures based on the "House as a System" concept.

This energy audit approach considers the interactions among the building design, location, climate, materials, mechanical systems, and other factors. It recognizes that features of one component in the house can greatly affect how efficient energy is being used. For more BPI 100 course details click here.

Phoenix 6-Day Workshop Schedule:
February 6-11, 2012
March 5-10, 2012
Monday - Saturday, 9:00am - 5:00pm 

The course is an excellent complement to the BPI 100 because it provides both classroom and in-the-field components to introduce students to weatherization industry standards and how to implement the recommendations of the BPI energy audit. Students will learn to identify and then implement cost effective strategies to improve the health, safety, durability and energy efficiency of residential buildings, and get the hands-on training and practice of how to do the needed repairs.
