BPI works with building performance industry stakeholders to ensure that the professional bar for excellence in building performance contracting is established and maintained by creating and regularly updating technical requirements through an open, transparent, consensus-based development process.

BPI measures the knowledge, skills and competency of individuals, and evaluates the organizations impacting building performance.
