Their vision was to create a resource for independent, third party verification of worker skills in the weatherization industry and building trades.

In 1996, the first certifications were issued for weatherization auditors and installation personnel. Since that time, BPI has expanded its capabilities to serve not only the weatherization industry, but also the growing building performance contracting industry from both a residential and multifamily buildings perspective.
