Builders will be required to have a fully-active partnership with ENERGY STAR, including completed ENERGY STAR Orientation training, to be eligible to label homes under the ENERGY STAR Version 3 guidelines. The self-guided, online ENERGY STAR Orientation training will cover Version 3 guideline information, partner responsibilities, and available resources. This training, estimated to take an hour to complete, is now available at www.energystar.gov/mesa. Builders will be required to complete the online course by the end of 2011 as a condition of continued partnership with the program. Also, beginning in 2011, all new builders seeking to partner with ENERGY STAR will need to complete the training before their partnership is activated. One company representative per builder will be required to complete the course; however, additional representatives are encouraged to also complete the training. |
