SBIDC would like to introduce you to training and professional opportunities offered through the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority (NYSERDA).
NYSERDA is a public authority with the mission of reducing energy use in New York State; it offers incentive programs for every sector to reduce energy use.

NYSERDA is actively recruiting NYC professionals to participate in their Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program. As a certified Home Performance contractor, NYC homeowners will seek out your services to gain access to valuable financing incentives and the assurance of verifiable energy savings.
