LEED for Homes
In 2007, BPC completed a new home that participated in the pilot phase of the new LEED for Homes certification program, offered by the US Green Building Council.  The home was certified at the silver level.  This program features an adjustment factor for size.  If the home had been smaller, it would have earned certification at the gold level.

American Lung Association Health House
In 2000, BPC completed a new, super-insulated home in Roxbury, becoming the first and only builder in Connecticut to complete a home that meets the rigorous requirements of the ALA Health House program.

This national program has pulled together the expertise of top building scientists to establish criteria for every aspect of a home’s construction and operation to ensure high standards for indoor air quality, as well as other performance qualities including energy efficiency.
