Fix problems BEFORE they get detected. Avoid the need for a re-test, and get your homes on the market sooner.
With HERS Index Training, you can DESIGN your homes to the desired (or required) specifications. Don’t wait for the independent HERS Rater to find design flaws. Changes are expensive. Do it right the first time!
