EPA ENERGY STAR® Version 3.0
Online Training Opportunity
The Northeast HERS Alliance ("Alliance") is proud to announce, in association
with Building Efficiency Resources ("The BER"), ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 Online
Training for certified HERS Raters.
ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 online training for HERS Raters and ENERGY STAR builders
been offered by The BER since March 2011.
All certified HERS Raters who plan to provide verification services for ENERGY
STAR Version 3 homes must receive ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 training by an
Accredited ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 Training Provider.
The Alliance and The BER understand that taking time off of work to attend
additional trainings is not an option for most certified Raters. That is why the
Alliance and The BER are offering certified Raters the ability to attend the
ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 Rater Online Training.
The BER's online ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 training provides 18 hours of RESNET
Professional Development Credits, as well as 9 BPI Continuing Education Units,
and will also feature training on the EPA's "Indoor airPLUS" program. The ENERGY
STAR Version 3.0 training will be presented in six two hour modules that will be
given live in the morning and evening so that certified Raters do not have to
worry about missing any time away from their desk or field during the normal
business day. Certified Raters may attend training from the comfort of their own
home or office, thus eliminating the travel and hotel costs associated with
traditional classroom trainings. The ENERGY STAR Version 3.0 trainings can be
taken in any order and at the certified Rater's own pace.
The six modules will cover the following topics:
- ENERGY STAR Version 3.0
online training Module 1:
Overview, Version 2.5, and

training sessions to confirm a certified Rater's preparedness to begin
