Why should I take this training?

1. It's required. All certified HERS Raters who plan to provide verification services for ENERGY STAR Version 3 homes must receive ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 training by an Accredited ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 Training Provider.
    
2. It's online. Taking time off of work for trainings is not an option for most certified Raters. Thus, we are offering certified Raters the ability to attend the ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 Rater Training online.
    
3. It earns Professional Development credits. Online ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 training provides 18 hours of RESNET Professional Development Credits, as well as 9 BPI Continuing Education Units.

If you have any questions on the above training, please do not hesitate to contact Laurie DiDonato, Northeast HERS Alliance at info@nehers.org / 978-544-8270.
