Building Performance Institute Trainings

At ECC, we are committed to equipping minority contractors with the expertise needed to excel in the clean energy and home performance industry. Our training programs focus on building science principles and residential energy auditing, ensuring that contractors gain the technical skills necessary to meet the latest Building Performance Institute (BPI) standards and protocols.

ECC is now a proud member of the Building Performance Association Allied Partner Network which brings organizations together whose missions and visions align to make America’s homes more comfortable, healthy, and energy efficient and ensures we stay at the forefront of industry advancements.

Based on work with BPI, we were selected to serve on the Advisory Council for the International Renewable Energy Council (IREC)’s Green Workforce Connect platform. Read more about that effort here.
