BPPA has been very active in the past few years:

• Working with Efficiency Vermont to promote improvements and better incentives for Efficiency Vermont programs and affiliated contractors
• Revamping and reopening the Zero Energy Now Program
• Working with partner groups to promote Vermont’s Energy Code and a Contractor Registry
• Engaging with the Public Service Department to promote clean energy and weatherization
• Promoting the Home Energy Score as a way to build broad awareness of energy use and the benefits of weatherization among homeowners and home buyers
• Lobbying legislative leaders and committees on behalf of Home Performance and Building Performance programs and Contractors

And much more for BPPA to focus on in the years ahead…

• Governor Scott’s proposed 25 million dollar funding enhancement for weatherization!
• Expanded Zero Energy Now opportunities!
• Strengthening statewide workforce development for the home performance and weatherization industry.   
• A narrowing of the gap between now and the looming deadline of our 2050 climate goals!

Not to mention serving our own trade and industry!

• What about benefits of membership?
• What about building and supporting our own businesses?
• What about working together to promote our industry
• In the state house
• In the media
•  With utilities
• With like-minded organizations – in Vermont and elsewhere?

We need interested members to get involved!!!

Again!  Please join us!
