Our Advanced Combustion Safety Training (ACST) was held this past Wednesday, students dove deep into the technical side of heating safety. They covered critical topics like draft pressure diagnostics, combustion appliance zone (CAZ) testing, carbon monoxide behavior, and venting system integrity to guarantee peak efficiency and total peace of mind for the heating season ahead.

The learning didn't stop when the workday ended, either. At night, our lead trainer, Joe Konopacki, presented Inspecting Combustion Safety at the NIC-AHI meeting, where local home inspectors earned continuing education credits.

On this September 11, Insight Building Performance Training pauses to honor, remember, and pay tribute to the lives lost, the brave heroes who answered the call, and the enduring resilience of our communities. We hold those affected, their families, and our first responders close in our hearts today and always.

The countdown is officially on for The Build Show LIVE, and we couldn't be more excited!

Our very own Joe Konopacki and Ei Kon from the Insight team will be heading out to join the nation's top builders, innovators, and building science nerds for three incredible days of high-performance construction, cutting-edge tech, and networking.
If you're heading to the event, keep an eye out for Joe and Eileen—be sure to say hi, talk shop, and share your favorite building science wins with them!

Safe travels, team! Let's build better. 🛠️👇

Curious about Building Science? Let’s break down the BPI Building Science Principles (BSP) Certificate!

Whether you’re looking to break into the green building industry or want to sharpen your professional credentials, this nationally recognized certificate is a game-changer. Here is the who, what, and why behind the BPI BSP:

WHO is it for?
Contractors & Installers: HVAC, insulation, and window pros wanting to master everyday technical terms.
Real Estate Professionals & Home Inspectors: Realtors, appraisers, and inspectors who want to spot green features and understand home performance.
Sales & Support Staff: Office personnel and sales representatives looking to build instant trust with homeowners.
Industry Beginners: Anyone ready to take their first step into energy efficiency and home performance careers.

WHAT is it?
The BSP is an introductory, foundational certificate earned through a 100-question multiple-choice exam (prepped via in-person classes or though a self-paced online course or reference materials). It teaches the "house-as-a-system" concept, covering:
How the building envelope, heating, cooling, and ventilation interact
Air leakage, heat transfer, and moisture control
Combustion safety and indoor air quality (IAQ)
Why energy efficiency comes before solar or other renewables

WHY get certified?
Boost Your Credibility: Earn third-party validation from the Building Performance Institute (BPI).
Grow Your Business: Speak fluently with customers, answer technical questions with confidence, and upsell home upgrades.
No Expiration: Once you pass, you own the certificate for life—no renewals or recurring expiration dates.
The Ultimate Stepping Stone: It acts as the ideal baseline knowledge before moving on to advanced credentials like the BPI Building Analyst - Technician or Professional.
