Whether you're a training organization, certification body, or energy efficiency program administrator, this template helps you assess rater competency across all critical areas: diagnostic testing procedures, HERS Index calculations, thermal bypass inspections, duct leakage testing, and code compliance verification. The form captures detailed information about training completion, field experience, technical knowledge, and hands-on testing proficiency.
