WAIT LIST

Please complete the waitlist form below to be added to the wailist for this course.
 

Completion of the USDOE's simulation training, test, and mentoring are required steps towards becoming an authorized home energy assessor in the City of Portland Home Energy Score program. 


Earth Advantage is offering this 3-day guided simulation training, test, and group mentoring to assist home energy assessors to complete this required step. 

Day 1 & 2 is a simulation training and test process where you will conduct virtual home walk-throughs designed to show a variety of situations you might encounter, in order to learn how to produce an accurate Home Energy Score. See this overview video of the simulation training for more info.

Day 3 is an in-field group mentoring session where you will do a group walk-through at a house with a qualified mentor, enter data into energy modeling software, and produce your first Home Energy Score. 

Note: The simulation training and test can also be completed on your own. This Aug. 28-30 session is recommended for those without experience in online simulation training modules. 

The City of Portland Home Energy Score policy is effective January 1, 2018, and requires sellers of single-family homes to receive a home energy score and report prior to listing a home for sale in the City of Portland. Only authorized home energy assessors can produce a home energy score for this policy.
