4.1. Current Situation

• There are many organizations that supply information, training, and resources; however, there is no single BC or Canadian authority for home performance in residential renovation.

• There are no standards or credentials to differentiate home performance professionals and contractors from low-quality, low-cost companies whose work and behaviour reflects poorly on the entire industry, and makes the sale of projects with quality installations difficult.

• It is difficult for consumers to find and select quality contractors to do home performance work.

• There is no industry organization representing home performance contractors.

• Many manufacturers, suppliers, and installers don't understand what home performance is or the value that it can provide.
