RESNET’s standards currently require to be an accredited Rating Quality Assurance Provider or Home Audit Provider to be qualified to be accredited Contractor Education and Qualification (CEQ) Provider. The current requirement is 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 RESNET Training and Education proposed a standard amendment to remove the requirement. This proposed amendment is undergoing the RESNET standard amendment public review and comment process. Interested parties are encouraged to comment on the proposed amendment. Public comments on the proposed amendment will be accepted until June 30, 2014. To submit your comments click on RESNET Amendment Comment Online Form.

The revised proposed amendments then will be submitted to the RESNET Standards Management Board for adoption.
