The Building Performance Institute (BPI) is the nation’s leading building science accreditation organization. The “house as a system” philosophy – which looks at a building’s various components (building envelope, attic, basement, combustion equipment, ventilation sources) and the interrelationship between them to maximize a home’s performance. This approach leads to greater energy efficiency, but perhaps more importantly to buildings that simply work better. A home that has been analyzed and upgraded from a whole-house standpoint is more durable, healthier, more comfortable, and more energy efficient. For more information about BPI’s standards, take a look at their Technical Standards for Building Analysts (PDF).
We aren’t just BPI Certified we are at the head of the pack. Among the first BPI test proctors in the Western United States, we have trained and tested many of the individuals who now use this logo. When they have questions about problems in a client’s house that they can’t figure out, we are a go to organization for technical information. If you have the opportunity to work with us directly on a project, whether it’s consulting, design or installation, you can be sure that all of our learning will be applied to better outcomes for your house. In the end a certification is only as good as what you do with it. We are committed to achieving great results that far exceed minimum standards and certifications. When we make your house perform, our test results will prove it, and you will feel the difference.
