If you were to poll most third-graders and ask them what their dream job is, not many would say “Home Energy Auditor”. But as we grow up and realize that the conserving energy is an integral part of building the future, we quickly realize that a career in home energy auditing should be part of the dream. It’s not just any career; it is an intelligent career choice and a green choice as well.
One of the first steps in becoming a home energy auditor is learning about energy efficiency through the Home Energy Team Institute. Part of the important process is receiving your RESNET certification, which is how you become a certified as a RESNET Home Energy Survey Professional.
RESNET stands for Residential Energy Services Network and they give certain institutions the opportunity to teach about home energy and to certify the practitioners who qualify. In this case, HETI is one of those institutes. Furthermore, RESNET is the premier organization that sets the bar for national standards that energy efficiency and building efficiency is measured. These standards are known by organizations nation-wide from the government to banks and the mortgage industry as the best-practice standards.
By getting your RESNET certification, you can move from the crowd of people who just read about this and claim to know about energy efficiency, to being a certified, authorized professional. There’s a big difference. A lot of people can tell you about stock trading but few of them are actually financial advisers.
No matter what your knowledge level is at this point, – whether it is a general interest or whether you’re an avid energy saver already – the Home Energy Team Institute has courses and certifications for all levels. Invest in yourself and invest in our energy consumption by getting your certification today.
