In 2005, BMI announced an alliance with the DuPont™ Company to provide and coordinate building education and support for the construction industry. The merger was a result of a strategic business decision by DuPont to continue to provide the best products, services, content, and building knowledge to the marketplace.

In 2010, BMI became part of the Department of Energy’s Building America program. Lead member of the Building America Retrofit Alliance, BMI expanded its work to include communications and research as well as training and event planning for the program.

In 2012, BMI and DuPont reached an agreement to end the subsidiary arrangement. BMI continues to provide high quality, web-based training services for the construction environment with a specialized focus on green and sustainable building practices.
