Vermont Homebuilder Coalition

The Vermont Homebuilder Coalition

The Vermont Homebuilder Coalition’s initiative aims to revolutionize homebuilding by prioritizing healthier, more energy-efficient, and durable homes. They are addressing the lack of understanding of building science among builders, which leads to issues like mold and inefficiency. The coalition, consisting of various trade and nonprofit organizations, will work together to:

• • Define a state-recognized builder certification for high-performance builders.
  • Increase outreach, education, and training in building science.
  • Launch awareness campaigns to educate homeowners about the benefits of building science.

This effort seeks to ensure that Vermont’s homes meet:

• energy standards
• reduce callbacks after construction
• improved work performance
• and ultimately provide better-built, long-lasting homes to consumers

The coalition will emphasizes the importance of industry-wide support for this cultural shift in homebuilding practices.
