Energy Audit Diagnostics

Hours: 20 | Type: Distance

Professional, competent energy auditors provide a valuable, sought-after service to home and property owners across the United States and Canada. It is the task of these professionals to examine homes and make the proper recommendations to their customers about ways to improve the energy efficiency of their property. Energy auditors assess the condition of a home's thermal envelope, which includes conducting tests for air leaks and checking for gaps and irregularities in insulation. It is also the energy auditor's job to provide competent advice to homeowners about which improvements will pay off over time, which are not recommended, not helpful or not an efficient investment. Because of the skyrocketing cost of energy and the government's willingness to invest in this sector, this profession has a high growth potential, and PHII's training will help you get started in this great career path.

PHII's Energy Audit Diagnostics Course has been written to follow the national guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Energy to meet or exceed the weatherization requirements of each state. Additionally covered in the course is extensive information regarding infrared camera usage, blower door testing, duct leak testing, thermodynamics, furnace combustion appliance testing, and much more! Specifically addressed in the course are the various systems inside the home, including how energy is used and lost. Specific recommendations you may make to your customers to help them reduce their energy costs are included, with special regard to the circumstances when these recommendations are necessary and relevant. 

If you are interested in expanding or starting your business and wish to become a certified energy auditor, PHII's Energy Audit Diagnostics Course is one of four courses required.
