A Brief Overview of EnergySmart Contractors and Teams

A universal desire for reliable information and trustworthy contractors has always existed but reality often proves to be much different, especially regarding residential and small commercial projects, and even more so for multi-family projects. Larger commercial projects have the advantage of bigger budgets to engage teams of specialized contractors and professionals who then have multi-member crews perform the work. Smaller projects must lean heavily on local help who often show up with scant credentials or worse, fail to show up at all.

In addition, the chaotic nature of the residential construction and remodeling marketplace is discouraging to lenders, private investors and even crowdfunding groups who believe in and want to finance deep energy retrofits and site-installed clean energy systems. Recent wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes and other disasters have also created a strong interest in durable, resilient buildings that are also highly insulated and prepared to incorporate clean energy and smart home systems.

How can the chaotic nature of residential construction marketplace be addressed? One growing solution is enlisting the help of certified EnergySmart Contractors who can be combined into an EnergySmart Team that works on new construction and remodeling projects. The following graphic helps explain and he formation of certified EnergySmart Contractors and EnergySmart Teams has an interesting history that is available HERE.
