Lighting & Energy Audits

  • Submitted by Lighting Guy (not verified) on Thu, 05/05/2011 - 10:55.
    Everblue,

    What role does lighting play in the BPI building analyst, HERS rating, and Energy Audits? Would it make sense to pay for one of my lighting employees to become certified? Most lighting audits are simple math, how would BPI or HERS certification benefit my bottom line?

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Lighting Guy,

    The answer to your question about whether BPI or RESNET is worth it for your company depends on what drives your sales. Do you sell energy savings as a reason to do lighting retrofits? Are you competing with other energy saving technologies when proposing lighting retrofits?

    We have many lighting sales professionals that come through our training courses because they want to be able to sell energy efficiency to their customers. One of our instructors is has a lighting background and he says that the biggest benefit is the ability to talk confidently to your customers about all of their energy options and to explain how a lighting retrofit fits in the energy audit/energy retrofit process.

    Thank you,
    Everblue

Energy Auditor in St Louis

  • Submitted by Everblue on Thu, 05/26/2011 - 17:32.
    James,

    Thank you for your interest in our Energy Auditor Training. To answer your question about what is required depends on your current background. Are you already a home inspector, contractor, engineer, etc or are you completely new to the field?

    In terms of certifications, BPI is primarily for existing homes and RESNET is primarily for new construction homes. I would recommend BPI as it is growing faster and the existing home retrofit market represents a bigger opportunity for the foreseeable future.

    Let us know if you have any questions or feel free to give us a call and we can you through your questions.

    I recently had the opportunity to take BPI course through my work in Cleveland, Ohio, and I cant say enough about how great my teacher Andrew was. Not only did he make sure that I didn't miss any classes by working with me with my work schedule but he also made sure that everything was explained completely in detail. He is a wonderful teacher and I am very grateful that I had the chance to learn from him. Thank you Nicole

Relevance to Australia?

  • Submitted by Erik (not verified) on Sun, 08/28/2011 - 23:11.
    I note your course is not available to India. How about Australia? Would it be true to say that in principle all fundamental parts of an energy training course would apply anywhere, but it is just the difference between units of measurement that stand in the way? Thanks!

Relevance to Australia?

  • Submitted by Bana@Everblue on Mon, 08/29/2011 - 08:15.
    Hello Erik and thank you for your question.

    As of this posting we do not offer our BPI training in India or Australia, however we have expanded to other international locations that may work. Should you have a group of professionals interested in this course, we can discuss group training which can be done at your convienience of time and location. You would be correct to infer that the difference between the training would be units of measurement, as all other principles would be relevant anywhere in the world, but since this standard has been developed in the United States, mesurements would be different, and you would need to be familiar with them to take your BPI exam.

    Thanks,
    Bana
