NHPC Releases Framework For Developing A Home Performance Industry Roadmap
"BRINGING ON THE BOOM AND BEATING THE BUST"
DENVER, May 1, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The home performance industry needs a clear, broadly accepted vision of a pathway from promise to profitability. A new report from the National Home Performance Council (NHPC), entitled "Bringing on the Boom and Beating the Bust: A Framework for Developing a Roadmap to a Successful Home Performance Industry," provides synthesis of many opinions to the challenges and potential solutions facing the industry and aims to advance the development and implementation of a much-needed home performance industry roadmap.
"The home performance industry is at a crucial turning point as public funding diminishes and policy barriers stand in the way of success," said Kara Saul Rinaldi, Executive Director of NHPC. "The need for an overarching plan to advance the industry is greater than ever. We're hoping that this report can jump-start that conversation and put the industry on track towards developing and implementing a plan to bring profitability and longevity to the home performance industry."
While the report is not envisioned as a roadmap itself, it presents a number of potential solutions to key challenges that have emerged in discussions with stakeholders. The report also proposes a framework for prioritizing projects and allocating responsibility for undertaking them.
"The report is intended to encourage and advance discussion among all stakeholders in the home performance industry," said Robin LeBaron, Managing Director of NHPC. "By laying out stakeholder-identified solutions to the industry's most pressing challenges and providing a framework for productive discussions and action, this report takes us one step closer to creating a much-needed industry roadmap."
The report was released at this year's ACI National Home Performance Conference, taking place from April 29 – May 3rd in Denver, Colorado. The full report is available at NHPC's website (www.nhpci.org).
The National Home Performance Council encourages the implementation of whole-house retrofits for increased home energy performance and facilitates coordination among federal governmental agencies, utilities, state energy offices, contractors and others to improve whole-house energy performance.
