Being an Energy Modeler is much, much more than data entry. The ability to generate an accurate energy model is one of the most difficult and critical responsibilities
of a HERS Rating or Code Compliance evaluation. This course provides information about the energy modeling of homes, but also about the energy and construction considerations that must be made when developing an energy model.
HERS Modeler Certification for REM/Rate and/or Ekotrope
CEUs: 36 ESC | 18 RESNET
IT’S YOUR CHOICE: You can choose to be certified in the REM/Rate software, or the Ekotrope software, or both in this course. It is built for HERS Modelers using either one or both of these tools.
ARE YOU A HERS RATER? Brush up on your modeling skills and earn 18 CEUs at the same time! This course has been approved as a CEU course by RESNET.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the need to keep the final exam model details confidential, the final exam for HERS Modeler must be completed in person in front of a RESNET Certified Instructor or an approved Proctor. This may result in additional fees. Those fees are not included as part of this course. You will receive specific information about locating an approved proctor close to you as part of this course.
Being a HERS Modeler is much, much more than data entry. The ability to generate an accurate energy model is one of the most difficult and critical responsibilities of a HERS Rating. This course provides information about home energy ratings, but also about the energy and construction considerations that must be made when developing an energy model. Students can expect to learn construction math and building science as well as obtain a working knowledge of where the model data comes from and why it is important. An understanding of what data are gathered in the field, what to expect from that field data gathering, and how to turn that data into modeling information and enter it into HERS Modeling tools is all included in this training.
