retrofitting America’s homes to make them more energy
efficient.
The organization also aims to expand the green
building industry to fuel job creation, minimize energy consumption and carbon
emissions, and alleviate U.S. foreign oil dependence.
Efficiency
First provides the home performance work force, which includes HVAC
contractors, with a voice at state and national level policy negotiations, officials
say.
“We are excited to be a part of Efficiency First’s
efforts to bring together all sectors of the residential construction industry.
We believe HVI will benefit from Efficiency First’s lobbying efforts, as that
is an area of focus we’ve not had in the past,” said HVI Executive Director
Jacki Golike. “We are hopeful that HVI, through this partnership with
Efficiency First, will be better positioned to keep our finger on the pulse of
the home-performance industry, particularly during these challenging economic
times, guaranteeing our members have the information necessary to keep them a
step ahead of their competitors.”
