Based in Michigan, Building Science Academy is a privately held training school that specializes in training energy auditors, raters, and contractors for energy and weatherization performance standards.  Training curriculum includes programs for Building Analysts, Envelope Professional, Advanced Equipment, Home Performance Sales and Marketing, Contractor/Installation, Air Sealing and Insulation and HVAC. We offer training facilities in the Grand Rapids, Lansing and Detroit area's. We can also travel anywhere in Michigan and beyond for privately held classes. See our schedule page for locations and dates or call the office for private classes not on the schedule.

Our approach is to provide a comprehensive training program to assist contractors, companies, and individuals in obtaining certifications to perform these weatherization and audit services which result in enhanced career paths and additional revenue generation opportunities. We are an affiliate of the Building Performance Institute (BPI) who is recognized as setting national standards for the Home Performance Industry. BPI develops nationally recognized standards, certifications for individuals based on written and field practical exams, a contractor accreditation program, and a training affiliate network to prepare individuals and companies for BPI certification (which BSA is a part of).

Our leadership and instructors bring vast hands on experience to the classroom with over fifty years cumulative experience in the construction and utility industries while being pioneers in conducting energy audits and performing retrofits. Training classes and programs are currently being offered in several locations throughout Michigan. We have also expanded to include other states and online training will be available in the near future although the preferred method of training would still be hands on. Please reference our Class Schedule for more details on available classes or call the office at 616-887-2311.
