BPI/RESNET
Hey guys,I am in NJ and we have a homeperformance with energy star rebate/0% interest 10k loan.... It has really helped our business. We are also an affiliate of BPI, and offer customized classes for contractors. I am wondering about other states incentives/programs, and how often you work with auditors/raters. We were setting up for homestar to open up all states, but now are replaning. Do you have inhouse auditors? Do you network with energy auditors, Hvac guys etc? do you regularly use modeling software (we use treat for NY and some garbage program real home analyzer for NJ) When our projects include Hvac, we can size systems smaller because of foam.... something more builders need to understand. Part of the extra cost of foam is saved in a smaller unit. |
