2/20/12
Building Performance Specialists (BPS), a division of Allen Associates was one of several local contractors that attended a free homeowner barbecue and workshop in Goleta last month to meet local residents interested in home improvement upgrades. Hosted by emPowerSBC and Energy Upgrade California, the event attracted over 50 Santa Barbara County homeowners seeking to achieve a higher level of home comfort.
Along with other contractors, BPS, a full service home performance contracting company met with local homeowners to provide valuable information on home performance and energy upgrades. BPS offered a special, reduced home assessments rate and, as a result, was able to secure ten homeowner appointments, which could potentially turn in to ten home improvement projects.
"It is always enjoyable to meet homeowners and dispel myths by presenting real world building science data," said Lucas Johnson, Division Manager, Building Performance Specialist a division of Allen Associates. "People are often relieved to discover that multiple strategies exist to dramatically improve the comfort, health, and efficiency of their homes for much lower upfront cost."
"While the home performance industry is only beginning to gain traction in Santa Barbara, emPowerSBC has become a critical element in helping create an upgrade market large enough to bring more green jobs into SBC. " added Johnson.
