Training Organizations
 

I ask that Residntial Energy Services Network (RESNET) Accreditied Training Providers.be allowed to provide the training. RESNET Training Providers are the only trainers reconized by the EPA New Homes Energy Star Program to provide training to HERS Raters and the Energy Star vs. 3 training

All HERS training includes use of blower door, duct leakage testing, use of software for energy modeling, basic building science, and basic HVAC operation, for both new homes and existing homes.

Each trainer has had to meet the following requirements:

  1. Pass RESNET National Exam - 100 question, 2 hr tine limit, must score 90 or above
  2. Complete Adult Education Class - min. 16 hr
  3. Pass RESNET Combustion Saftey Exam
  4. Must have completed 25 confirmed HERS rating with 3% under going a file review and 1% passing a field review
  5. Must have 12 CE hrs of RESNET approved class or 36 hours of class room traing yearly
