Healthy Home Evaluator (HHE) Courses

Demand is growing for preventative home health assessments and interventions in the public and private marketplace. From identifying asthma triggers and risk of lead poisoning to testing for CO and other health hazards, tremendous opportunity exists to incorporate healthy home measures into home performance assessments.

Developed in partnership with the Green & Healthy Homes Initiative (GHHI), this certification builds upon the BPI Building Analyst (BA), Energy Auditor (EA) or Quality Control Inspector (QCI) certifications to verify competencies required to conduct in-depth healthy home environmental risk assessments.

The Healthy Home Evaluator assesses home-based environmental health and safety hazards including asthma triggers from dust, moisture and mold, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), lead-based paint, asbestos, radon, carbon monoxide leaks, as well as potential fire hazards, trip and fall hazards, and pest management issues and provides a prioritized list of recommendations to address those hazards.

Prerequisites: Must hold a current BPI Building Analyst Professional, BPI Energy Auditor, or BPI Quality Control Inspector Certification and the certification must remain current in order for the Healthy Home Evaluator certification to remain current.
