The BPI IDL certification is for HVAC contractors, builders, code officials, home inspectors, insulators, and energy auditors who want to perform in-house or third party verification testing of building and duct air tightness testing to meet requirements of the 2015 IECC energy conservation code.
As of October 2016 in NY State, the new energy code requirements call for all new residential structures, gut rehabs, and additions, to require third-party verification testing to assure IECC infiltration and duct leakage compliance.
