How is the BSI Certification System Structured?
BSI’s training and certification system is structured through three parallel career paths, each with different tiers of capabilities.
Career Paths
Field Verifiers are responsible for field testing and data collection, verifying the dwelling unit’s as-built condition.
Software Analysts are responsible for creating energy model templates, modifying energy models, running software analyses, and verifying the energy model complies with the as-built condition (which was inspected by the Field Verifier or Verifier).
The Verifier is responsible for all of the above, as well as holding overall responsibility that projects meet the program requirements.
If someone initially earns a Field Verifier certification, they can simply meet the outstanding prerequisites and earn the full Verifier certification. The same applies for Software Analysts.
Tiers of Capabilities
BSI’s career paths are structured with progressively complex (not complicated) programs.
The first tier is explicitly geared toward being able to show compliance with the energy code, as well as performing your standard home energy rating (whether for code or through BSI’s innovative home energy rating system).
The second tier is ENERGY STAR Level 1, which indicates the individual has successfully completed the ENERGY STAR Single-Family New Construction workshop and passed the requisite exam.
The third tier is ENERGY STAR Level 2, which indicates the individual has successfully completed the ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction workshop and passed the requisite exam.
The fourth tier is Zero Energy Ready Home Level 1. Verifiers must have completed the Orientation Training for the DOE Zero Energy Ready Home Single-Family program.
The fifth tier is Zero Energy Ready Home Level 2. Verifiers with this certificate have completed the Orientation Training for the DOE Zero Energy Ready Home Multifamily program.
Our BSI Verifier family of certifications are U.S. Department of Energy-recognized as Energy Skilled:
- Energy Code Compliance Specialist
