4CORE has permanently hired Kirk Coppinger as Weatherization Program Manager, starting December 5th. Coppinger is replacing Gregg Dubit, who was recently hired as 4CORE’s Executive Director. Coppinger was appointed Interim Program Manager on July 1st of this year, and prior to that was one of 4CORE’s Weatherization Inspectors.“Kirk has eleven years of experience in managing large-scale commercial building projects and a solid foundation of knowledge in building science,” said Gregg Dubit. “He has proven his abilities by successfully assuring high-quality work on hundreds of weatherized units. His knowledge of the rigorous program requirements and existing relationships with subcontractors and our funders allows for a smooth transition.”
The Weatherization Program is a 34 year old Department of Energy program which strives to increase the quality, safety, and energy efficiency of residential, low income housing. Kirk has already proven to be a competent building science technician as well as a very responsible steward of this federally funded program.
"I will endeavor to meet and exceed expectations and hope to develop opportunities to keep the Weatherization program strong and viable for many years to come," said Coppinger. "I look forward to leading the 4CORE Weatherization team into 2012."
Coppinger's background is in commercial construction, including the Springs Hotel in Pagosa Springs and the Sky Ute Casino project. He has been involved in heavily-themed exterior building skin projects including the Wynn and three Residences at MGM towers in Las Vegas, a new facility for the oldest dental school in the nation in Washington, DC, and the University of Maryland’s Comcast Basketball Arena. Kirk is a native of the areafrom Mancos, and enjoys getting out and camping with his family.
