Our history.
In 1993, a group of building tradespersons, project managers and public program professionals joined to form the Building Performance Institute. At first, BPI was a resource for independent, third-party verification of worker skills in the weatherization industry and building trades.  By 1996, BPI began issuing certifications for weatherization auditors and installation personnel.  Since that time, BPI has expanded to serve not only the weatherization industry, but also the growing residential and multifamily building performance contracting industry. BPI is now supported by organizations around the globe.
