Steps
Download the current edition (ANSI/BPI-1200-S-2017) from BPI's standards library
Note that BPI-1200 defines minimum criteria and procedures for building-science-based residential energy audits and related diagnostic testing
Cross-reference the companion standard ANSI BSR/BPI-1100 (Home Energy Auditing Standard), which defines 'what' the audit accomplishes while 1200 defines 'how'
Use BPI-1200 as the technical basis referenced in BA-T/BA-P exam blueprints and field-exam scoring criteria
Check bpi.org's current-standards page periodically for revisions, since editions update through BPI's ANSI-accredited process
Known gotchas
Confirm you're referencing the current published edition; older 2015 editions still circulate on third-party training sites and can conflict with current exam content
BPI-1200 is a technical practice standard, not an exam study guide by itself; pair it with official exam prep materials
Some archived copies are hosted on third-party state program sites and may be outdated versions
