Energsmart Accredited to Offer Energy Star Program

July 2, 2008
Energsmart Insulation, a Buffalo-based applicator of spray foam insulation, earned accreditation today from the Building Performance Institute (BPI). BPI is the organization that determines an individual or company’s level of expertise in building science.
Accreditation by BPI is necessary to offer the numerous rebates and low interest loan programs offered by NYSERDA (New York State Energy Reduction and Development Authority) through their Energy Star program.
“It is an honor for us to be accredited by the BPI” stated John Bartlo, President and CEO of Energsmart. “Our business has grown extensively since we started it in 2004. This accreditation gives us high marks from an independent source, effectively telling the market what we’ve known from the start — that we are experts when it comes to building science — and our customers can take comfort in that.”
The energy star program has benefits available for all customers, regardless of their income.
