Energy Auditing Services Update – RESNET Certification
As we mentioned back in our Updates & Happenings at SLS Construction, we were pursuing Certification from both BPI & RESNET for Energy Auditing & Consulting Services that we are adding. Well, as of July 9th I finally completed the final step to become one of RESNET’s newest raters. In our case, we are Certified Energy Rater #EVER22, utilizing Energy Vanguard as our Authorized Rating Provider.
RESNET was structured to ensure a high level of quality assurance as required by the Mortgage Industry and other interested partners. With that in mind, energy raters such as myself have to work through a Rating Provider, who is responsible for our quality assurance. Unlike the BPI certification we received earlier last week, there is a lot more involved in this process than simply taking a written test & completing one field exam. We will delve more into this in a future article.
