Certifications

BPI Certified Building Analyst: Certified by the BPI (Building Performance Institute) as a Building Analyst, Building Shell Specialist, and Multifamily Specialist, I am trained in BPI's rigorous house-as-a-system approach and keep conscientiously up-to-date on certification (BPI requires Building Analysts to be re-certified every three years). As a BPI Building Analyst I am certified to conduct blower-door tests, combustion appliance inspection and repair, air quality testing including carbon monoxide detection, duct testing and airflow testing in addition to my other contracting services. My Building Shell certification gives me an even greater understanding of how heat and moisture pass in and out of your home.  For more information about BPI's standards, take a look at their Technical Standards for Building Analysts (PDF).

RESNET Certified HERS Rater: As a certified HERS rater, I am certified through CalCERTS to conduct both home energy audits and home energy ratings. As per RESNET's standards, I take building science classes throughout the year to ensure that my energy audits and home energy ratings use the latest science, technology, and computer programs to provide you with the best and most effective information available.
