Now in its fifth year of training contractors, RiverSmart Homes engaged ICPI staff to train PICP contractors on installation. RiverSmart Homes provides a rebate to DC residents who install PICP. Contractors must hold a Certification of Completion of the ICPI PICP course to be eligible to bid on projects. Bryan Horr, P.E., ICPI’s Manager of Technical Development and Market Promotion, instructed the one-day course on March 4, 2020 at the District of Columbia Department of Energy and the Environment (DDOEE) attended by thirteen contractors and RiverSmart program staff. Last year, RiverSmart homes provided substantial rebates in support of 40,000 sf of PICP installed in patios, driveways and parking lots with a total approaching 200,000 sf. RiverSmart Homes is operated by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay under the auspices of DDOEE. Over the past year months, ICPI and its members have hosted 22 PICP courses for contractors.
