Certified Energy Experts Owens Corning’s Certified Energy Expert ® (CEE) program was launched in 2012. To become a Certified Energy Expert, contractors must complete Owens Corning training on thermal performance, moisture prevention, air filtration, ventilation, and energy efficiency audits. CEE members have an advanced understanding of building science and have steadily grown sales of Owens Corning insulation. The expertise CEE members offer their customers makes them trusted partners throughout the building process, helping facilitate the construction of more sustainable buildings. Owens Corning supports the contractors with local marketing materials that promote both the Owens Corning brand and the contractor’s, a visible sign of the importance of this collaboration. We have also extended our limited lifetime warranty to include our CEEs’ workmanship in addition to our products. In 2021, program engagement rose — 87% of the members worked with Owens Corning on at least one project during the year. There are currently 100 insulation contractors in this elite group. To remain in the CEE program, the contractors must maintain an above-market sales growth and Owens Corning market share of more than 60%. Members of the program operate with different business models and install different types of insulation, including new construction and renovation of single-family homes and light commercial buildings such as multifamily units. Measuring and disclosing the sustainability impacts of our products not only advances our sustainability goals — it also helps our customers advance theirs. Our sustainability and product stewardship teams work closely with product development and customer support teams to answer questions, test products, and drive transparency. We also help customers improve and promote the sustainability of their products by providing life cycle inventory data for our products. As our customers use these products to manufacture their finished goods, they have access to information that can help them develop more precise LCAs and EPDs.
