July 12 through July 17
This training familiarizes participants with the process and sci
ence of conducting an energy rating, and prepares students to successfully pass the HERS certification test and perform ratings of newly built houses. Taking a “whole-house” approach, this course focuses on energy and moisture transfer, the thermal envelope, air leakage problems and solutions, ventilation and indoor air quality, windows, as well as basic energy load calculations, and diagnostic testing using a blower door, infrared thermography, and a duct blaster. On the last day of the class, students take a written exam and (with a passing grade) apply for certification with an accredited Home Energy Rating System (HERS) provider. Cost: $1575 per person includes all materials and testing.
