This training is a combined class for both ENERGY STAR Single-Family New Homes Version 3.1 and ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction Version 1.1. We will cover a broad array of topics including program requirements & guidance, rater checklists, and ENERGY STAR partner resources. The test will be given following the final day of training for each section.
