Building Science Principles
The Building Science Principles Certificate course provides a foundational understanding
of energy efficiency, air quality, and building performance. Students will learn how
home systems—such as HVAC, insulation, ventilation, lighting, and appliances—affect
energy use, indoor comfort, health, and safety. Emphasizing energy audits and retrofitting,
the course highlights their role in enhancing building performance and integrating
renewable energy solutions like solar power.
This course prepares students for the Building Science Principles Certification Exam
by the Building Performance Institute (BPI) and equips them for careers in smart building
technology, energy auditing, facilities management, and weatherization. Ideal for
those in real estate, construction, architecture, or engineering, it serves as a key
entry point into the home performance industry.
