Building the Home Performance Workforce – What's Next?

Tuesday, April 8, 2025

Location: Empire D (Level 2)
CE: 1.5 CEU credits
CEU Type(s): BPI, BSI, INTERNACHI, NARI, RESNET
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) provide $260 million dollars in training funds to expand the energy efficiency workforce - including for home performance contractors via the Training for Residential Energy Contractors (TREC) program. DOE has started making TREC funds available to states to implement training programs that will help address workforce needs to deliver state HOMES and HEAR rebate program projects. While funds will help to address some of the workforce issues across the country, there is a need for continued workforce investment and also a need to diversify the building performance workforce. This session will provide awareness of available training opportunities from enacted federal legislation, discuss potential future home performance workforce policy, and explore how the federal government and states can support broadening our industry’s workforce going forward.
