RESNET Adopts National Energy Audit Standard
After three years of consensus building the RESNET Board of Directors
has adopted a national energy audit standard. The consensus building
included a RESNET Task Force on National Standard for Energy Audit for
Existing Homes. The task force had a broad membership and represented
wide spectrum of views on the issue. For information on the task force,

The draft standard also was vetted by the U.S. Department of Energy,
Environmental Protection Agency, building performance sponsor
organizations and the Building Performance Institute. The standard also
went through two public review and comment processes.
The adopted standard should be seen as a starting point. RESNET will
continue to refine the standard as it implements the standard.
The RESNET National Energy Audit Standard has been incorporated as
Chapter Seven of the Mortgage Industry National Home Energy Rating
Standards. To download the standard click on
