Thats awesome, keep us posted on the products you use and your jobs. I am very interested in "green" products these days. We are considering bringing on that kind of stuff, so anything like that pipe wrap I would love to have information on.

Our largest customer is doing exactly what your are doing in the New England area. He is a GC that started an energy auditing company. He did extremly well during the boom, but now runs more crews than he did then. I think you are on the same path.

I attended a REPA, Residential Energy Performance Association meeting today and found out that HERS is working with MLS to add the HERS rating to the listing sheet. Also, it appears NH will lead the country in two area's, one licensing of energy auditors and two, adopting a new energy code that requires blower door testing to any change to a building envelope greater than 30% or more. This will also be a requirement for new construction and additions.

I just talked to a general contractor in TN today that said the same exact thing about the changes in the building envelope and new construction.

Did you see that the new weatherization bill (which dwarfs the first) has basically full support in the senate?

Yes I did and from what I understand it has alot of support in NH.

As far as the update on energy codes requiring blower door testing it looks pretty good that it will pass. To bad more inspectors don't realize the direction the country is going. I also heard that Europe has started an energy labeling program for homes. I don't agree with the cap and trade bill but I do think we need to be pro-active in energy consumption.
