Builders Expanding Into Retrofit Market Need BPI Training

Many members are exploring the existing housing energy efficient retrofit opportunities thanks to federal stimulus funds and the proposed $6 billion Home Star legislation.

Government and utility sponsored retrofit and remodel programs that promote energy efficiency require participants to have Bulding Performance Institute certification or equivalent. BPI is a national standards development and credentialing organization of residential energy efficiency retrofit work.
