Company Profile
BPC Green Builders (formerly Building Performance Construction Services) was established in 1998, building
the first house to meet the stringent standards of the American
Lung Association’s Health House designation in the state
of Connecticut. Since then, BPC has managed the construction
of eight new homes and the complete reconstruction of six existing
homes, all of which exceed ENERGY STAR® criteria. We have
supervised the installation of performance-related improvements
to many more. In addition, we have provided consulting and
rating services to several hundred homeowners, builders, and
architects throughout the region.
A home we built in Redding received a 2004
HOBI award
for Best Energy Efficient / Green Home* in Connecticut,
and another
home we built in Norfolk received a 2006
HOBI award for Best
Energy Efficient / Green Home* in Connecticut. In 2007, a
home we built in Bethany was among the first homes in the country
to be certified under the LEED
for Homes pilot program, in
this case earning a silver certification.
We are a leading authority in Connecticut on high performance
residential construction. Articles on our work have appeared
in the New York Times and Connecticut Magazine, as well as
in numerous area newspapers. We were featured on a CPTV series
entitled “Connecticut’s
Energy Future,” and we have spoken about residential building
science to a wide variety of groups, including consumers, architects,
builders, doctors, and building inspectors.
