InterNACHI will soon have some huge news about energy auditor issues
and the MICB is working on the “Certified Master Energy Auditor”. Nick
also said that the www.infraredcertified.com will be filing their own patent.
Looks like some interesting news coming down the pipe line.
John, is NACHI looking into any kind of audit software? I asked this question on another thread but didn’t get a response. I’m looking at TREAT mainly because the state of NH uses it along with a couple of public utilities.
Yes, establish a requirement that any INACHI member wishing to be associated with these domains be either BPI, RESNET HESP, RESNET HERS, or LEED Certified.
These are the currently established national certifications associated with Energy Audits. This is just my opinion, but for us Inspectors, I would say that BPI is best suited for getting certified in conducting Energy Audits for existing homes.
The BPI class was challanging and actually a bit difficult. You are required to pass a 100 question written (proctored) exam and a two hour field exam. The field exam being the more difficult of the two.
We will soon see the news release of several news points
that will be BIG. The CERTIFIED MASTER ENERGY AUDITOR
and SoP to go with it will have plenty of backing…:mrgreen:
