• HPSC Sector Councils are not yet representative of the broader home performance industry. Participation from and coordination with the larger industry base is still needed.

• Maintaining good communication and coordination between the Sector Councils in order to work through and minimize any conflicting recommendations and/or unintended consequences from actions taken by other sectors.

• The industry has been branded as needing incentives and grants. We need to rebrand and sell the net community benefits.

• There's a need to ensure the bar for entry is high enough to ensure the "good" manufacturers and installers retain market differentiation and a competitive advantage. The recommendations and industry development initiatives should be designed to level the playing field and need to consider market competition and differentiation to promote race to the top versus race to the bottom.

• Program requirements that are too computer intensive.

• Program requirements that are onerous for manufacturers and installers.

• A privately run certification program may become focused on revenue, rather than quality.

• Certifications that use language that is overly technical.

• Low consumer interest.

• Content needs to be tailored to the BC construction market.

• Contractors may not be willing to fund training because of low staff loyalty.
