BPI certifications go beyond those typically provided by individual trades by utilizing the “house as a system” concept as the foundation for each of our job designations.

Building performance contractors utilize a systematic approach to home-improvement which addresses all aspects of the building system with respect to health and safety, building durability, and energy efficiency.

BPI certified contractors are tested on their building science knowledge skills as well as their ability to apply BPI's standards and perform the inspections necessary to properly diagnose building performance.

Guiding Principles for Building Performance Contractors:

• Do no harm to occupants, workers, and houses
• Identify and resolve potential health and safety issues
• Recommend cost-effective home improvements
• Install measures effectively and safely
• Test in and test out
• Consider the worst case scenario
• Apply "house as a system" principles to home improvement specifications
• Document your work

The Northeast Home Energy Rating System (NE HERS) Alliance was formed in 1998 to foster, unify and promote HERS programs in the Northeast (i.e. New England, New York and New Jersey). Since that time, the Alliance and its 20+ member organizations have developed goals and objectives for achieving its mission of standardizing and increasing home energy ratings (HERS), energy mortgages (EM's), and ENERGY STAR Homes throughout the region, which include:

• Developing and strengthening the competency and capacity of the emerging HERS programs in the Northeast; and
• Coordinating and unifying the HERS programs in the region in order to achieve and maintain national HERS accreditation.
• Serving as a mechanism to promote adherence to the national HERS guidelines and standards within the Northeast region.

By coordinating and standardizing the most important components of the regional HERS programs, the Alliance increases individual and overall HERS program effectiveness and develops a strong regional foundation from which existing and emerging programs can flourish. To facilitate enhanced regional program recognition and consumer outreach capacity, the Alliance has and will continue to develop strategic partnerships with a variety of housing and energy industry professionals and organizations regionally and nationally.

There are now accredited HERS providers in every state in the Northeast--one of the early goals of the Alliance--and the numbers continue to grow. Many of these providers have both successful HERS programs and demonstrated management and technical excellence in many broad-based initiatives related to residential energy efficiency.
