From identifying asthma triggers and risk of lead poisoning to testing for CO and other health hazards, a tremendous opportunity exists to incorporate a healthy home analysis into home performance assessments. The Healthy Homes Evaluator course is designed to prepare BPI Building Analyst, Multifamily Building Analyst, Energy Auditors, and Quality Control Inspectors to identify and evaluate health-related hazards in a client’s home from a new perspective. This course will delve deeply into the 8 “Keep It Principles” of a Healthy Home and the potential health impacts of housing hazards. For those with the above-mentioned certifications, this course will prepare them to take the Healthy Homes Evaluator Test and obtain the BPI Healthy Home Evaluator(HHE) credential. A credentialed HHE will then be able to assess home-based environmental health and safety hazards and to provide a prioritized list of recommendations to address those hazards. For those who have no BPI credentials, this course builds upon the general knowledge learned in other courses taught at Indiana Community Action Association.

 *For those seeking HHE certification, the first attempt at testing is funded by IHCDA (for those within the Indiana Weatherization Network only)

Prerequisites: (1) Lead-Safe Weatherization; (2) Moisture Course; and (3) review of the BPI Certification Scheme for HHE. See link below:
