Our ability to measure the energy features in a home has changed the way we approach home energy improvements. Performance testing enables us to identify and quantify the opportunity for improvement in all categories--insulation and air sealing, windows and doors, duct leakage and conduction, HVAC equipment air flow and efficiency, room air balancing and mixing, etc.

This ability to measure energy features enables home performance contractors to reduce energy consumption in most existing homes by 60% to 80%, while improving comfort, indoor air quality, and structural durability. This evidence-based approach to solving thermal comfort problems and reducing energy bills distinguishes the Home Performance Contractor from all other contractors.

This 3-day overview class is the core of the Green Home Energy Upgrades series and is a pre-requisite for Level 2 Lab & Field. Rick Chitwood is the lead trainer for the California Building Performance Contractors Association (CBPCA), which is affiliated with the national EPA's Home Performance with Energy Star program. For more information about CBPCA, including this training curriculum, visit www.cbpca.org or call (888) 352-2722.

This course is intended for home improvement contractors and other home energy professionals familiar with home construction and remodeling.
