Home Performance with ENERGY STAR (HPwES) is a program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to encourage homeowners to make energy efficient home improvements. The program depends on specially trained home performance contractors that complete a comprehensive energy audit and make energy efficiency recommendations. Participating contractors need both the technical skill and knowledge to improve home energy efficiency, and the business skills and quality management systems to succeed. Working with the Department of Energy, EPA is testing new strategies to help contractors succeed through better business and quality management. www.novahomeperformance.org

Fabric Display. All hosts and sponsors will receive a fabric display around the perimeter of the meeting room (see graphic). We believe this special recognition is a more environmentally sustainable alternative to the traditional table-top or pop-up exhibit. All sponsors and supporters will be invited to provide a “camera ready” graphic file which will be reproduced on stretch fabric and erected using light-weight material. This solution reduces the carbon emissions associated with each sponsor and supporter transporting their own display.
