ENERGY STAR® for New Homes – For Energy Advisors

Education ENERGY STAR® for New Homes – For Energy Advisors
–

Industry expert Andy Oding (Building Knowledge Canada) dives into the changes and requirements of the new standard for Canada’s most successful green building program.

As of January 2018, Natural Resources Canada has introduced new exam requirements for all ENERGY STAR® for New Homes energy advisors who evaluate homes under Version 12 and/or Version 17 Ontario.

Specifically, energy advisors who have a Participant Administrative Arrangement for the ENERGY STAR® for New Homes program will be required to pass the EnerGuide Rating System Foundation Level Exam and the recently developed ENERGY STAR® for New Homes Energy Advisor Exam in order to remain active under the program.

This course will provides a rigorous and broad overview of the ESNH energy advisor exam requirements.

The course will not replace an individual’s need to study the full NRCan technical and program guides in preparing for the exam; rather it will compliment and aid current energy advisors who are preparing to take the new Energy Advisor exam.
