By: Everblue Energy, Inc. Everblue’s students will be conducting field training on a local test home as part of their BPI Certification training course. They will be learning and practicing energy auditing methods, including blower door testing, combustion safety testing and interior and exterior inspection in all spaces (attic, living, basement and crawlspace). These applications measure air tightness within a home and result in significant savings for homeowners who pursue retrofit work. “Our students will perform a comprehensive analysis of the home's energy efficiency and health issues,” said Vince DiFrancesco, Everblue’s BPI Certification program manager. “Everblue’ Typically, this involves a 2-3 day commitment from the homeowner. Houses will need to have at least one combustion appliance, such as a gas hot water heater, gas or oil burning furnace or boiler. Everblue encourages a resident or owner to oversee activities, though student training inside and outside of the house hinders full occupation. Vacant or for-sale houses also work, so long as the utilities are on and the combustion appliances are functioning. There cannot be any health hazards present, such as asbestos, mold, lead paint or flammables, and it is best if there are no pets. Everblue’s BPI Certification training aims to solve issues driving up energy costs in every American’s home. With this exciting announcement, Everblue encourages its community to take advantage of government incentives like “Cash for Caulkers,” which allows homeowners to receive over $12,000 in rebates for making their home more energy efficient.
