Weatherization and Energy Efficiency Course Is Ahead Of It's Time. It Is Up To You To Take Advantage Of This Program!

The green movement is making a prevalent impact nationwide on the way corporations, government and local communities conduct daily activities.  But there's another segment of the population whose interest in ‘going green' could create an estimated 87,000 new jobs in the clean energy economy (source: U.S. Department of Energy).  We're talking about homeowners.

Nationwide, homeowners are more educated than ever before about the advantages of being energy conscious.  As a result, they are pursuing ways to save money on rising energy costs by weather-proofing their homes – which can reduce heating bills by 32% and overall energy bills by about  $350 per year at current prices (U.S. Department of Energy). 

And there's more good news - under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, about $8 billion has been invested into state and local weatherization and energy efficiency programs.  This means the Department of Energy will partner with state and local governments to put thousands of Americans to work and save families hundreds of dollars per year on their energy bills (DOE).

Prepare to join the growing clean energy workforce with online Weatherization and Energy Efficiency Program.  Upon successful completion of this course, you can take the REA Professional  exam  and launch a new career in an industry that needs trained workers – and that can be you. We cannot guarantee your success in any field. We can only offer you the materials needed to understand the role, goals and how to implement energy savings for each client's home. We are confident you can help homeowner's save money.

This courses does not discuss blower door testing for the following reason: (This is our opinion on this subject-You must decide your level of involvement)

 Blower door testing is every specialized and required intensive hands-on training, and has been controversial. If you do not properly turn off pilots, close vents, close windows, clean out fireplaces, clean out oil burner vent stack, close oil burner intake, and , the after the test is concluded, you would be required to turn everything back on, relight all pilots, open all items you closed before the test, and make sure everything is properly functioning. A Blower Door test is more than just hands on, for the test. It requires hours of checks and re-checks to make sure damage is not caused as a result of the test. This hands on test which should not be taken lightly. Many people do a thorough job, however if something is missed, there can be a negative damaging effect the home- and potentially put the homeowners at risk for Carbon Monoxide poisoning or for gas leaking. Anyone who even considers a blower door test, must be trained extensively, and be prepared to show the benefit of such a test. Further, that individual must have insurance to warranty their testing. We recommend, non-invasive Infrared Camera usage, which does not put the home at the same level of risk, nor are pilot lights and venting and ash in the fireplace affected.

Our program is a visual analysis which requires at minimum a IR Thermal Thermometer (a camera is great but not mandatory) The cost is as low as $ 200.00 for a Thermal Imaging Camera.

Your job as a RESIDENTIAL ENERGY ASSESSOR is to show a homeowner what they need to do to save energy. You perform a room by room determination as to what a person can do to save energy.  This is something that will save them money every day for the rest of their lives.
