RESNET Energy Smart Contactor Standard Amended for Contractor Education and Qualification (CEQ) Provider Accreditation

Aug 20, 2014

The RESNET Standards Management Board voted to adopt the proposed amendment to RESNET’s Non-ANSI Standards that removes the requirement that RESNET CEQ’s must be an accredited RESNET Rating Provider or Home Energy Audit Provider in good standing.

The RESNET Training and Education Committee proposed the amendment because the current requirement in Section 1004.2 was too restrictive. There are many otherwise qualified organizations that would make effective CEQ Providers that are shut out by this requirement. Being a Rating Provider or a Home Energy Audit Provider really has nothing to do with being a CEQ provider.

The proposed amendment went through the RESNET Non-ANSI Standard Amendment Public Review and Comment Process.
