Greener Dawn Announces BPI Affiliation

SOLANA BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Greener Dawn Residential, specializing in advising homeowners on energy and water efficiency, has been approved as a Building Performance Institute training affiliate. Building Performance Institute is the nationally recognized certification and credentialing organization for residential energy efficiency and was named by the Obama administration as the standard required for contractors in the proposed “Cash for Caulkers” program. Greener Dawn takes its position as the only BPI approved trainer headquartered in San Diego and looks to be an important player in the national program.

“We are excited to be one of the leaders in energy efficiency in Southern California”

“For these programs to be effective, the public must demand measurable and reliable results from the contractors that perform the work,” says Director of Residential, Doug Donovan. “Now, at Greener Dawn, we can help bring these standards to Southern California.”

The Cash for Caulkers, also known as the HOME STAR program, launched initially from a consortia of private industry and public agencies, is now being promoted heavily by the Obama administration as a critical piece to driving the economy and creating jobs while addressing the country’s environmental issues. Under the program, consumers might be eligible for a 50% rebate on both the price of the equipment and the installation- up to $12,000. The proposed program would provide $23 billion in funding for homeowner incentives, retailer incentives and quality assurance on work completed.

“We are excited to be one of the leaders in energy efficiency in Southern California,” says Courtland Weisleder, President of Greener Dawn. “Our primary focus is creating green jobs and formulating an energy audit platform in order to help facilitate the Cash for Caulkers program. Utilizing the PACE financing mechanism, we want this industry to succeed and thrive long after the government dollars end.”
