RESNET Proposes Amendments to National Home Energy Rating Standards
RESNET has submitted a set of proposed amendments to the Mortgage
Industry National Home Energy Rating Standards for the standard
amendment public review and comment process.
The proposed amendments are:
- Editorial Revision of RESNET
Quality Assurance Procedures
Proposed by the RESNET Quality Assurance and Ethics Committee
The RESNET Standards have quality assurance (QA) requirements
stipulated throughout the various chapters, making it confusing for
the Rating Industry to have a clear understanding of all of the
RESNET QA requirements, how these requirements affect them and what,
exactly, they are responsible for. To address these issues, the
RESNET Quality Assurance and Ethics Committee has undertaken an
extensive Standards revisions process with two goals in mind. The
first goal is to consolidate all of the RESNET QA requirements into
a new chapter in the Standards.
- Rater Trainer Minimum Competencies
Proposed by the RESNET Training and Education Committee
Requires rater trainers having minimum training in training adults.
- Revision of Process
of Amending RESNET Standards
Proposed by the RESNET Standards Committee
Amends process for approving amendments to RESNET Standards.
Public comments on all of the proposals will be accepted until
December 1, 2009. To submit your comments,

At the completion of the comment period, the RESNET Training and
Education Committee will review the comments and revise the amendment
where appropriate. The amendment will then be submitted to the Amendment
Revision Committee that is composed of three representatives of the
rating industry and three representatives of state energy offices. The
RESNET Board will then consider the recommendations of the revision
committee and vote on whether to adopt the amendments.
