The DOE Home Energy Score Program has recognized select NATE certifications, among others, to qualify as a minimum credential for those interested in becoming Home Energy Score Assessors.
The accepted credentials from NATE are certifications in the following specialties:
- Air Conditioning
- Heat Pumps
- Gas Heating
- Oil Heating
- Gas Hydronics
- Oil Hydronics
In addition, DOE announced the release of the Home Energy Score Simulation Training, a new online simulation tool that provides free, targeted training and testing to individuals interested in providing the Home Energy Score – a standard energy efficiency assessment and score generated only by qualifying professionals.
The Home Energy Score Simulation Training (the Sim), developed by Interplay Learning, lets candidates walk through different virtual homes (colonial, ranch, and townhome) with numerous combinations of energy-related characteristics (e.g., heating, cooling, hot water equipment; wall construction; insulation levels; footprints).
The Home Energy Score team will host a webinar on March 4th from 2-3pm ET for anyone interested in learning more about the Home Energy Score, the Sim, and new credential requirements. Register for the webinar now.
