Up to 1.5 Building Performance Institute Continuing Education Credits Live

The GoToWebinar Attendee Report will be the official record for awarding BPI CEUs. Credit is awarded only to fully credentialed BPI Certified Professionals. Attendees must be individually logged-in to the Web Exchange to receive BPI CEUs. Credit will not be awarded for attendance by telephone alone. At the end of the Web Exchange, the GoToWebinar Attendee Report is submitted to BPI, and CEUs are awarded based on the amount of time in session and interest rating. Credit is calculated using an arithmetic mean of the time in attendance and interest rating as compared to 100% attendance for the scheduled time and 100 Interest Rating. Attendees must be logged in for any portion of the credit to be awarded. Credit will not be awarded for later viewings. Credit is calculated and awarded by BPI. All questions related to CEUs for this event should be directed to CEUs@bpi.org.

Interest Rating: The Interest Rating is a statistic that allows organizers to benchmark and qualify attendee interest in a Webinar. Interest Ratings are computed from a GoToWebinar proprietary algorithm that evaluates each Webinar attendee's interactions on a scale of 1 to 100 (100 being best). Factors that contribute to the Interest Rating include, but are not limited to: attendance length, attentiveness during the session (i.e., not switching windows, checking email, etc.), number of questions asked and an attendee's successful completion of polls, surveys and registration. Anyone registering and listening AFTER the event will NOT receive credit.
