Barnes - Building Performance Consultants Inc.

What Barnes - Building Performance Consultants Inc. does

Building Performance Consultants, Inc. is a Florida-based building science consulting firm founded in 2022 by Jeremy Gary, operating from offices in Venice and Titusville. The firm delivers residential new-construction performance testing and certification services across Florida's West Coast, Central (Greater Orlando), and East Coast regions. Its service portfolio includes Manual J/S HVAC load and energy code calculations, blower door envelope leakage testing, duct leakage testing, RESNET HERS ratings, spray foam fog leak identification, sealed attic tightness testing, building diagnostics for comfort and condensation issues, HVAC system design, and certification across Energy Star, DOE Efficient New Homes, LEED for Homes, NGBS, FGBC, EPA Indoor Air Plus, EPA WaterSense, and Fortified by IBHS programs. The firm is led by a three-person team — owner Jeremy Gary (20 years' experience, Florida hot/humid climate specialist, multi-credentialed), Rating Field Inspector Michael Sollitto (~10 years), and HERS Rater Jon Klongerbo (25+ years, building science pioneer in Florida) — combining 55+ years of building science expertise.

The business model is professional services on a per-project basis: services are quote-based, requested via phone, email, or downloadable work order forms on the firm's website (energybpc.com), and delivered on-site at construction locations by the firm's own technicians. Customer segments are primarily residential home builders requiring code-compliance testing for permitting, with a secondary segment of homeowners seeking diagnostics for comfort, condensation, or indoor air quality issues. Pearl Homes Developments is publicly featured as a partner builder. Distribution is direct, with no intermediaries or resellers.

Revenue and pricing are not publicly disclosed. There are no funding rounds, no parent company, no institutional investors, no M&A activity, no app or software platform, and no AI/ML capabilities — the business is a credentialed, field-services firm whose moat rests on multi-accredited human expertise and Florida-specific building science specialization rather than software or scale advantages.
