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.”
