We know the job market is tough. That’s why BPI’s Home Energy Professional (HEP) certifications are designed to give experienced workers a leg up on the competition. These advanced credentials prove you have the knowledge, skills and abilities to get the job done right. Show employers you’ve earned the industry’s top credential, and boost your job security, job opportunities and level of professionalism.

Offered by BPI and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the four certifications demonstrate advanced competency through work experience prerequisites as well as rigorous written and field exams.

The new certifications will not replace BPI’s existing certifications in the industry. Rather, they will complement and build upon BPI's existing credentials in the home performance career ladder, where increased knowledge and skills lead to advancement.
