Home Performance with Energy Star Contractor's Roundtable
Home Energy has published business development guides for residential building contractors that participate in the jointly-sponsored DOE/EPA Home Performance with Energy Star (HPwES) program. To start off this forum discussion, here's a link to a HPwES roundtable of participating contractors with their answers to some basic questions about auditing and correcting homes.
Each contractor has a different take on the HPwES process, and the best way to make recommendations that solve customer's problems. What's your take?
For more information on HPwES click here.
