We are proud to announce that NY Energy Project has earned the prestigious Gold Star membership from the Building Performance Institute (BPI). This achievement represents the highest level of recognition a home performance contractor can receive from BPI, and it reflects our unwavering commitment to quality, professionalism, and excellence in every project we undertake.
What is BPI Gold Star Membership?
The Building Performance Institute (BPI) is the nation's premier standards development and credentialing organization for residential energy efficiency and weatherization work. BPI sets the benchmark for quality in the home performance industry, and their Gold Star designation is the highest tier of contractor membership available.
Gold Star contractors have demonstrated a consistent track record of delivering high-quality work that meets or exceeds BPI standards. This is not a certification that any company can simply purchase. It must be earned through verified performance, ongoing quality assurance, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Only a small percentage of home performance contractors nationwide achieve Gold Star status. This distinction sets NY Energy Project apart from the majority of insulation and weatherization companies operating in New York City.
What Gold Star Means for Our Customers
Earning BPI Gold Star membership means that when you work with NY Energy Project, you are getting a contractor that has been independently verified to deliver the highest quality of work. Here is what that means in practice:
- Certified staff - Every member of our team who performs energy work holds individual BPI certification. This means they have passed rigorous exams and demonstrated hands-on competence in building science, air sealing, insulation, and home energy assessment
- Quality assurance - Our work is subject to ongoing quality assurance reviews. BPI Gold Star contractors must maintain their standards over time, not just at the point of certification
- Whole-house approach - We treat your home as a complete system. Rather than just adding insulation, we analyze how insulation, air sealing, ventilation, moisture management, and heating/cooling all work together to maximize your comfort and savings
- Science-based solutions - Every recommendation we make is grounded in building science and diagnostic testing. We use blower door tests and thermal imaging to identify problems and verify results
- Accountability - As a Gold Star contractor, we are held to the highest standards of professional conduct, customer communication, and workmanship. Our reputation is built on delivering real, measurable results for every homeowner we serve
Our Commitment to Excellence
Earning BPI Gold Star membership did not happen overnight. It is the result of years of dedication to doing things the right way. From our very first energy audit to our most recent insulation installation, we have always prioritized quality over shortcuts. We believe that homeowners deserve contractors who genuinely understand building science and who take the time to diagnose problems properly before recommending solutions.
Our team regularly participates in continuing education and training to stay current with the latest techniques, materials, and building codes. The home performance industry is constantly evolving, and we are committed to staying at the forefront so our customers always receive the best possible service.
Our Gold Star Services
As a BPI Gold Star contractor, NY Energy Project offers a comprehensive range of home energy services across New York City:
Home Energy Audits
Our free home energy audits provide a complete picture of your home's energy performance. We use diagnostic tools including blower door testing and infrared thermal imaging to pinpoint exactly where your home is losing energy.
Insulation
We install the right insulation for every application, from attic insulation and wall insulation to basement insulation and crawl space insulation. We use cellulose, fiberglass, spray foam, and rigid foam depending on what your home requires.
Air Sealing
Professional air sealing is the foundation of any effective insulation project. We seal gaps, cracks, and penetrations throughout your home to stop air leakage before it happens.
EmPower+ Program
As a NYSERDA-approved contractor, we help income-eligible homeowners access the EmPower+ program, which provides free insulation, air sealing, and other energy improvements at no cost to qualifying households.
