ENERGY STAR Certified Homes Live Online Training with Southface Institute, December 9-10
Event Description
Join Southface Institute for a live, instructor-led online training to maintain or expand your ENERGY STAR service offerings and expertise. Over the course of three four-hour sessions, you’ll learn how to identify and quantify building components and systems for ENERGY STAR certification and prepare for the EPA exam.
Southface’s training offers real-time engagement with expert trainer Mike Barcik and industry peers. This format has proven to be effective — 100% of those who have taken this version of the course with Southface have passed the test.
The EPA recently instituted new guidelines requiring ALL raters working on an ENERGY STAR project — not just one per company — to successfully complete ENERGY STAR training and pass their exam in order to complete the third-party verification required for a home to receive ENERGY STAR certification. This requirement applies to Home Energy Raters and Rating Field Inspectors alike and must be completed by January 1, 2022, to offer this service moving forward.
Mike Barcik is a Technical Principal at Southface and has been with the organization since 1995.
Nathan Bessette | Program Director
As a Senior Project Manager on the Technical Services team, Nathan oversees Southface Energy Rated Homes (SERH), Southface’s RESNET-accredited HERS QA providership.
