Hosted by the Energy Efficiency Alliance, these informal, quarterly gatherings feature guest speakers from workforce development, state agencies, and energy efficiency organizations, offering valuable networking, tax incentives, and workforce development resources.

In 2025, EEA will host alternating sessions geared towards residential and commercial contractors. While April’s convening was geared towards residential contractors, June’s convening was specifically geared towards meeting the evolving needs of commercial building contractors.

The Commercial Contractor Network call agenda includes:

• Accessible funding opportunities from the National Energy Improvement Fund
• Low to Middle Income-focused project funding opportunities from Southwestern PA lending partners, Bridgeway Capital
• A case study on innovative best practices from Volpatt Construction, an awarded commercial building contractor
• Key policy and industry updates
• Opportunities for discussion among contractors and peers, as well as program implementers
• And more!
