Industry Leader Since 1986
Improving Building System Performance AND the Footprint for the Environment
Our history is one of constant evolution based on the needs of our customers and the visionary leadership of our CEO. Founder and CEO Jerry Kettler launched AIR Engineering and Testing in 1986 and formed Facility Performance Associates in 2008. During this time, Jerry and his team of experienced engineers and consultants optimized hundreds of systems and buildings from the design stage to full operation and collaborated on the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certified building in North Texas. Since then, the combined companies of The Centre for Building Performance have contributed to over 350 LEED projects.
In 2009, both companies came together under the newly-created Centre for Building Performance in response to client requests for integrated, design, construction and operational services. With over three decades of experience, we’ve become the go-to organization for:
- Sustainable building design, construction and operations
- Safe, efficient facilities boosting return on investment
- Increased environmental stewardship
- Healthy environments for occupants
- Protection and oversight for building owners
