Every LEED Residential Project must have a qualified energy rater inspect the energy efficiency measures of a project. 

In the United States (US) this is typically the Energy Rating Index Verifier, HERS Rater or ASHRAE Commissioning Agent. 

Outside of the US you will need to ensure some on the project follows USGBC LEED Addenda 10443

This training well help you or someone who wishes to the qualified energy rater meet this part of the addenda 

“At least 4 hours of formal training in each of the following: building science fundamentals, blower door testing (if being performed for the project), air sealing inspections, insulation inspections, and duct leakage testing (if being performed by the project).”

Once you complete this training the next step will be to gain “experience performing energy inspections and testing on at least two building projects with a similar scope of work.”
