Blower Door – Beyond The Basics | March 2, 2016

As a Home Performance Contractor, you strive to bring building science and home comfort together to provide an outstanding experience for your customers.  Leveraging your equipment to solve complex housing design issues is one of the best ways to provide comprehensive solutions to increase the comfort and efficiency.  This month we will look at the best tool in your toolbox to achieve this mission, your blower door.

This month’s technical webinar will dive deeper into this fundamental piece of diagnostic equipment that is commonly used on a daily basis.

Topics to be covered will include the following:

  • Blower door technology and the future
  • Using your blower door with additional equipment like IR and smoke
  • Home configuration and zonal pressure
  • Blower door for internal quality assurance
  • Using the blower door to drive sales

Earl Hicks, Senior Technical Analyst, and Ryan Moore, Senior Account Manager, from CLEAResult presented this training.

BPI 1200 & ASHRAE Standards | December 16, 2015

As the Home Performance industry matures so does the standards that drive it. BPI and ASHRAE have updated standards the HPwES Program is based on and these changes will have an impact on both the way you interact with your customers and their homes.

With the introduction of the BPI 1200 Standard Practice for Basic Analysis of Buildings, it is important to identify the major differences from the soon-to-be retired BPI Building Analysis Standard and how it affects the way you test buildings and provide recommendations. The BPI 1200 Standard incorporates ASHRAE’s 62.2-2013 Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings Standard which modifies the way air-tightness is considered.

These Standards will become effective January 1, 2016. Our goal is to make sure that you are familiar with the requirements of these standards and are prepared to deploy them. This webinar will explore the changes and how these new standards impact your projects.

Topics to be covered in the webinar:

  • Key differences between BPI 1200 and legacy BPI Standards
  • Diagnostic test equipment requirements to comply with the BPI 1200 Standard
  • Identifying the differences in ventilation requirements
  • Program implementation of ASHRAE 62.2-2013
  • Changes to Program forms for data collection

Louis Marrongelli and Earl Hicks, Sr. Technical Analysts from CLEAResult presented this training.

Moving to BPI’s 1100 Standard | August 20, 2014

Informational webinar led by Mark Hutchins, Quality Assurance Manager at CSG. The purpose of this 90-minute webinar is to walk through each section of BPI-1100-T-201x (also known as the “Home Energy Auditing Standard”) to examine how they differ from the previous training standards. Because BPI 1100 only covers “what to do” as opposed to “how to do it,” Mark will also provide a preview of what to expect from BPI-1200-S-201x or “Standard Practice for Basic Analysis of Buildings.”
