Everything an individual in the building, remodeling, or trade industry needs to know to make buildings perform more efficiently. The PBS course has also been designed to help prepare individuals on the path to various NATE, NARI, BPI, RESNET, and other industry credentials related to green building performance. This course is both BPI and NATE recognized for 28 hours of continuing education.  90 days enrollment.

•  301 Performing the Comprehensive Building Assessment Students will start out learning the systems, tools and techniques commonly encountered during visual observations including evaluation of envelope components, mechanical systems and base loads such as appliances and lighting. They will then step into diagnostic testing learning first how to work safely. Students will learn how to set up and use the blower door for building pressurization/depressurization testing; and how to utilize the data obtained in making decisions. Students will learn combustion safety testing (including worst case depressurization, draft and spillage testing), and how to test various appliances for CO including: furnaces, boilers, water heaters and other combustion appliances. Students will also learn basic duct diagnostic testing. Finally, students will be taught how to use assessment information and diagnostic results to develop a work scope which can then be presented to a customer. This course will refer to the BPI Building Analyst as well as to various industry codes and standards. This course is NATE and BPI recognized for 30 hours of continuing education.  90 days enrollment

The HVAC Service Core Program is a comprehensive program specifically structured to prepare technicians to successfully pass the initial NATE Core Service Exam.  It focuses on learning objectives that have been identified by HVACR industry groups (ARI, NATE, RSES, ACCA, BPI, and PAHRA) and consists of one (1) math review and eight (8) courses students receive a 60 day enrollment for each course.

The course provides the technician with practical knowledge for safe performance of service techniques on systems containing R - 410A. If you understand the parameters of this course and then successfully complete the final examination, you will comply with many equipment manufacturers’ policies requiring safety and service "certification" prior to purchasing equipment containing R - 410A refrigerant. Because this course is a special qualifications course, it does not come with an instructor. However, a complete reference manual is included and is shipped upon enrollment. Instruction aligns with ANSI/ACCA Quality Installation & Maintenance Standards. This course is NATE recognized for 10 hours of continuing education (CEHs) which are applicable to NATE recertification, and BPI recognized for 5 continuing education units (CEUs).
