In this episode of RESTalk, our guests, industry veterans Tony Lisanti (Integral Building & Design, Inc.) and Chris McTaggart (The BER) discuss why HERS® Raters should consider pursuing the ICC Residential Energy Inspector/Plans Examiner certification. On a timely note, you can register now for this ICC certification training and testing being offered as pre-conference programming for the 2019 RESNET® Building Performance Conference at http://conference.resnet.us/sessions-preconference Tony and Chris talk about the synergy between code work and work of HERS® Raters, as well as details on the training content, as Chris is an instructor on this topic. We also discuss the business and career opportunities that await a Rater who has earned this certification. As Tony says, “The opportunity for a HERS® Rater to be an integral part of the code validation process has always been there. With the ICC certification, it puts the formal Gold Star that you are not only a Rater in good standing, but you have been certified and recognized by the ICC. So a code official can lean on you and rely on your expertise.” Learn more about the energy codes at https://codes.iccsafe.org/search/map Find out about code adoption in your area on this website: http://energycodesocean.org/code-status/residential or the DOE website: https://www.energycodes.gov/ For more information on the 2019 RESNET Building Performance Conference, visit http://conference.resnet.us/
