For Contractors, Coaches, and Program Partners
Introducing Green Home Predictor
Enabling good trade connections matters.
Green Home Club helps contractors, coaches, and program partners connect around one home at a time — especially when comfort complaints, high bills, audit findings, rebate questions, and contractor quotes are all tangled together.
Green Home Predictor turns those scattered facts into a working Home Snapshot so the team can move toward better-scoped solutions, smarter sequencing, and clearer next steps before money is spent.
Share a working plan that can be revised based on feedback from your team
Green Home Predictor helps bridge the gap between audit and installation so training, planning, and project delivery can start from the same home facts and move toward clear, properly sequenced action.
Try the Green Home Predictor
Use the Green Home Predictor (GHP) to create a Step 1 Home Snapshot that helps homeowners and contractors talk about the whole home before money is spent — considering safety, moisture, insulation and air sealing, heating and air conditioning equipment, electrical readiness, and how one upgrade may affect others.
Always consult a qualified professional before implementing measures. AI can make mistakes.
Green Home Predictor is a home energy planning platform built in Minnesota for homeowners, contractors, coaches, cities, states, utilities, and program partners anywhere in the United States.
