My fellow BIA members: We are Building Strong. The Building Industry Association of Central South Carolina is in a great place right now and we need your continued membership and support. Invite your friends to join us as we continue to become even bigger, better, stronger and more meaningful to our fellow South Carolinians and generations to come. Use this Directory. Support our members. Let’s grow our friendships and BIA of Central SC Membership together! Following the devastation of the flood of 2015, we were able to show how our industry comes together to give back and support our community, and we’re continuing to do so into 2017. Through our various efforts, including Workforce Development, educational offerings, the Charitable Foundation, and legislative initiatives on the local, state and national levels, we continue to lift up our ever-growing industry and support the next generation of successful residential and commercial builders and tradespeople. We plan to continue and expand on these efforts as we move forward. Your membership is designed with you in mind. Members get more quality referrals, long-lasting business relationships, and accurate industry information through the BIA than any other association in South Carolina. There is a reason we are competent, effective and the largest area building association in SC… and it’s all because of YOU! Get involved, stay involved, get others involved and let’s have a great time doing it!

High Performance Building Council
HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDING COUNCIL The High Performance Building Council (HPBC) was formed in 2007 by members interested in learning more about building “green” or high-performance homes. Comprised of builder, remodelers and associate members, the council meets regularly to learn about new products and techniques in this line of construction. The HBPC is also the certifying body of the Certified High Performance (CHiP) Home Program. The program is based on the National Green Building Standard™ and uses third-party raters and verifiers. The program began in 2012 and we will soon reach the 3,000-certification mark. Learn more about the program and how you can get started building CHiP Homes at www.CHiPHomeProgram.com or contact the BIA staff.
Council Meeting Recap The High Performance Building Council met on September 15 for a discussion about Residential Solar Energy. We had speakers from the Mid-Carolina Electric Coop, Solarize SC, and our sponsor, Southern Current. Thanks to all of our speakers, our sponsor and the members who attended the meeting. The council met again in early November for a talk about various types of residential insulation. Michael Peaden of DOW Chemical spoke to us about slab insulation, crawlspace insulation and continuous exterior insulation. Our meeting sponsor, Icynene, spoke to us about their spray foam products and its various applications.
