The GreenHome Institute is an official Department of Energy Partner and is here to help you take your home energy rating, contracting services, or home inspection business to the next level by training to become a Home Energy Score Assessor.
The Home Energy Score is a simple, fast, and more accurate way to evaluate an existing home before and after renovation to help homeowners understand their energy usage and meet their goals to reduce energy.
A GreenHome Inspector aims to help homeowners, landlords, property managers, builders, architects, Realtors, developers and/or renters increase the sustainability of their new and existing housing units by identifying issues and opportunities.
This is done through holistic evaluations of existing properties at any time, specifically during pre- and post-improvement work or before home sales. An inspector can complete construction plan reviews and guide achieving sustainability goals for new construction.
These individuals help ensure GHI GreenStar Homes Certification is met.
The Green Associate Credential is the globally recognized foundational sustainability credential. Whether you plan to be involved directly or indirectly in LEED, this credential is carried out by many sustainability professionals. It communicates that you are continually learning sustainability in your profession. The Green Associate is the first step to getting your LEED Accredited Professional (AP) and then your LEED Green Rater or LEED Fellow if you wish to continue to advance.
Once you have completed your Green Associates exam you are ready now to become trained on how to serve on a LEED for Homes Project and get prepared for the LEED Accredited Professional Homes Exam. This is a step to becoming a LEED Green Rater.
With over 2 million LEED® for Homes™ registered spaces worldwide, LEED is the international rating system to ensure better residential buildings. LEED requires third-party on-site verification and performance testing by a LEED Green Rater, and demand is growing. Now residential and mixed-use projects of any size can go under the LEED for Homes rating system. If you’re interested in filling this need as part of USGBC’s LEED for Homes Green Rater program, this training is for you!
This course requires completion of the Green Associates and AP Homes Credential Exams.
This course trains students who wish to be Certified Home Energy Raters (HERS Raters / ERI Verifiers) in the basics of Home Energy Ratings and prepares them for the RESNET national rater and practical simulation exams. It also includes RESNET Combustion Safety and Workscope Training to prepare them for the RESNET national CAZ (Combustion Appliance Zone) Testing and practical simulation exams.
After the course we will guide you on the next steps depending on if you are working in the US or internationally.
