HERS® Modelers and HERS® Raters are required to take a development course for each software tool they use to generate HERS® models a minimum of once in each recertification period. One of the requirements for the course in the current standards is that the course be reviewed by the software provider. Software providers do not have a standardized method to conduct this review and RESNET staff has no method of determining if this review has been completed. All other professional development is referred to in the standards as “RESNET approved” professional development. This professional development requirement should follow the same procedures for approval as any other professional development.
