required to determine compliance with regulatory
requirements such as construction codes.
If a Rater enters an existing home to perform inspections
and testing and the owner's 9 foot Burmese python is
loose, does the Rater have to complete the inspection and
testing? - Answer-No - The Rater is not required to enter

What is a British thermal unit? - Answer-A British thermal
unit (Btu) is the amount of heat required to raise the
,2|Page
temperature of one pound of water on degree Fahrenheit
at sea level when the water is 39.2°F.
A homeowner has paid for 17 CCF of natural gas on their
monthly bill. How many Btu's did they use? - Answer-1
CCF = 102,000 Btu's
17 CCF = 17 x 102,000 = 1,734,000
How many therms? - Answer-1 CCF of natural gas = 1
therm
17 CCF of natural gas = 17 therms
How many kWh are in 14,000 Btu's? - Answer-1 kWh =
3,413 Btu's
14,000 Btu's / 3,413 Btu's = 4.1 kWh
How many therms are in 18 CCF of natural gas? - Answer-
1 CCF of natural gas = 1 therm
18 CCF of natural gas = 18 therms
What do HERS Providers provide? - Answer-They provide
software, oversight, marketing assistance, and quality
assurance for the Rater.
,3|Page
What role does a HERS Trainer play? - Answer-The
Trainer trains Raters on how to perform HERS ratings.
What are some of the responsibilities of a HERS Rater? -
Answer-The Rater's responsibilities include inspecting and
testing the minimum rated features of the home, entering
the data into a RESNET accredited software tool, and
providing the client with reports generated by the software.
Why was RESNET created and by whom? - Answer-
RESNET was created to use a scoring system that could
compare the energy use of different houses with each
other on a level playing field. It was created to oversee the
HERS industry, provide standards for accreditation of
Raters, Providers and Trainers, ethics and protocols for
inspection, testing and software analysis. It was created
by the National Association of State Energy Officers
(NASEO) and Energy Rated Homes of America.
What are the minimum rated features of a home? -
Answer-The minimum rated features of a home include
but are not limited to the foundation, walls, roof-ceiling, rim
joist, doors, windows, skylights, air infiltration, heating and
, 4|Page
cooling equipment, heating and cooling distribution
system, duct leakage, domestic water heating, passive
solar design, and solar water heating.
Can any energy analysis software be used to produce a
HERS rating? - Answer-No -- The software must be a
RESNET accredited software tool.
What is the building envelope? - Answer-The building
envelope is an air barrier and thermal boundary that are
continuous and touching and separate conditioned space
from unconditioned space or the outside.
Is advanced framing a recent invention? - Answer-It has
been around for a really long time (Examples of advanced
framing techniques have been seen in houses built in the
1920s in Anniston, Alabama).
What is the "energy" definition of a kneewall? - Answer-
Attic kneewalls are any wall that separate unconditioned
attic space from conditioned space. They have to be
accounted for differently in the take-offs and modeling
