Why Earn the Multifamily Building Analyst Certification?
Multifamily buildings are complex — and improving their performance requires more than just a surface-level approach. With the BPI Multifamily Building Analyst (MFBA) certification, you'll gain the expertise to evaluate the entire building as a system, uncover hidden inefficiencies, and deliver targeted solutions that boost energy savings, durability, and resident well-being. Whether you're working with property managers, building owners, or housing programs, this certification sets you apart as a trusted expert in optimizing multifamily homes for comfort, safety, and sustainability.
