An energy auditor is a residential energy efficiency professional who evaluates the energy efficiency, health and safety of a home, and conducts field measurements to identify areas for savings. The Energy Auditor produces this information as a report and makes recommendations to the customer.

Creating a work order is critical to implementing WAP-approved projects when performing an energy audit.

Safe work practices are critical to the success of a well-executed retrofit project. It is in everyone's best interest that workers return home the same way they went to work. This module will discuss some of the principal workplace safety requirements of energy auditors.

Not all job projects are created equal. A job may need to be postponed until certain situations are resolved. This module will outline the procedures for deferral of services.

To be an effective auditor, the auditor must be familiar with general home construction and carpentry to recommend the appropriate repairs to a weatherization crew.

The house operates as a system, meaning that all of the components inside the house interact with each other. Energy Auditors must understand these interactions to plan cost-effective retrofits.

Watch the following video series to prepare you for the HEP Energy Auditor Field Exam. The field exam is a "mock" audit where you perform a diagnostic test in the presence of a proctor. All of the field exams are recorded. For the best result, rehearse and practice the instructions in the video, as this is what is required for the HEP Energy Auditor Field Exam.
