BPI Launches Homeowner Blog

MALTA, NY – January 19, 2015– The Building Performance Institute, Inc. (BPI) launched a new blog to educate homeowners about the health, safety, and energy saving effects of home performance upgrades.

The primary goal of the blog is to help homeowners understand what's called the house-as-a-system concept, the idea that the house is made up of many different components working together as a system to impact the comfort, health and energy use of occupants.

"The benefits of this education are far reaching - homeowners will better understand how home improvements can increase their quality of life while learning how specially trained, BPI-certified technicians are best equipped to handle these upgrades," said Larry Zarker, BPI CEO.
