BPI Building Analyst Energy Audit Certification


Home Star aka Cash for Caulkers is a legislative proposal designed to create jobs by providing incentives for residential energy efficiency improvements. The program will drive new private investment into the hard hit construction and manufacturing sectors, while saving consumers money on their energy bills. By building on state programs and existing industry capacity for the retrofits themselves as well as quality assurance, the program will be fast‐acting, in addition to increasing consumer awareness of residential energy efficiency. The bill provides approximately $6 billion dollars of incentives to the American people, coupled with private investment, to generate an estimated three million home retrofits and tens of thousands of jobs, and to strengthen American industry.

How to become an energy auditor



Step 1. Take our Green Building Curriculum (approx. 30 hours of classroom and field instruction) to become a BPI Building Analyst Professional.

Step 2. Pass an online 100 question final online examination. This exam has a 2 hour time limit and will be proctored during the final 2 hours of the course. Results are given online immediately following the test.

Step 3. Schedule and pass a one-on-one field examination with an approved field examiner and "test" house. You will be required to prove proficiency with equipment and tools used to test the energy efficiency of the home to the examiner. Results are sent to BPI and recieved back 4-6 weeks after completion of the field exam.

Step 4. Attend a City of Austin Auditor Orientation Session. There will be a form that the auditor must submit to Austin Energy providing their BPI id number, proof of insurance, and other similar information. Austin Energy will review the information and the names and contact information of those accepted will be registered and posted online.

Frequently Asked Questions


1. Can auditors also do the upgrades from the audits?
As long as they are contractors holding a valid HVAC license, or other required licensing to perform the upgrade. To qualify for rebates the contractor must be registered with Austin Energy.


2. What if I do not pass the exam?
If after taking our course you do not pass either the written or field exam, you can take the next Energy Audit Training course free of charge. You will be responsible, however, for the exam fee: $250 for the written exam and $450 for the field exam.
