BPI is a purely non profit organization that works to provide proper energy efficiency, health and safety to homes. A BPI certification when obtained after a written and a practical exam can offer you projects to solve constructional problems. You are then eligible to be termed as a BPI energy auditor. You can start off you projects in very old houses that lack the modern technology from ever blue. All old homes will have problems of air and water leakage, improper energy usage in heating and cooling systems etc. This is the best place to start. As you complete and solve many problems in many different homes, your experience increases and gives you good recognition. One very important thing is you must prove yourself reliable to house owners. More than experience, house owners look for professional service providers who are reliable. Make sure that whatever solutions you find, two things should be kept in mind. One, is that you must find an environmental friendly solution that can increase the energy efficiency by decreasing the usage of it and secondly, doing the work by spending less money on resources in an efficient way.

You have to make the house owner aware of all the possible problems that can happen. Problems should be solved by BPI energy auditor in such a way that even when it happens again, the house owner must be able to solve it on his own in a small scale. By providing this awareness and knowledge to the house owner, you will make his/her work easier and it creates a good impression on you. You become reliable in the society and you tend to get more calls on solving problems. As it gets bigger, you tend to solve complicated and complex constructional problems which give you chances for bigger projects. Now, new rules have been given for home improvement, certification and accreditation. Growing consumer awareness and recent economic troubles are two factors that emphasize why BPI training is a must.
