Download Guidelines for Complying with BPI`s Technical Standards for the Air

 Foreword This guide provides information on how to comply with BPI’s Technical Standards for the Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Professional and is intended to compliment the Field Checklist provided in the Appendix. It is intended for both HVAC technicians and Third Party Verifiers. This guide follows the same numbering and order of BPI’s standard as does the Field Checklist. One form should be used for each HVAC system in the home. Where different, requirements of the “Home Performance Specifications for Warm Climates” (HPS) take precedence over the BPI requirements. These changes from HHPPSS
BPI have been noted in the manual with the following symbol: Information contained herein applies to residential buildings 3 stories or less in height. Sample forms, equipment lists and checklists are located in the Appendix and are also available in electronic format This work was originally compiled for the Clark County Community Resources Management Division in Las Vegas, NV. Examples and some requirements have been geared toward that climate. Written by: Lois B.
