And that's a shame, because it can only contribute skepticism to an unseasoned field that has the potential to do immense good. Fortunately, a framework of credentialing is emerging that looks strong. BPI is a well respected, independent certifying organization for energy auditors and related fields. PA state certified WAP workers will need to be BPI certified by the end od summer, as well as most market sector auditors, such as with the Exxon Mobile program. It should not be overlooked when choosing a fee for service audit.<br /><br />The analogy to the car and the mechanic is good. Though, in those cases, one usually ends up having the repairs done by the 'expert' who ran the diagnostics. I see your concern for a conflict of interest. At this early stage, as far as I know, there is little separation between auditor and installer crews, mostly due to the need for efficiency and good communication in these rapid deployment scenarios. That may change quickly if widespread abuse is evident.<br /><br />The most curious situation I've noticed lately is that PECO, the local utility company that is now "uncapped" and responsible for all this panic about rising energy bills this winter is also offering home energy audit services.

Think of it like owning a car - the average person does not understand much of the technical side of things, and must rely on the training and ethics of the 'expert' they are turning to. I know there are some moves to develop standards/certifications/norms for home energy auditors, so that should mitigate the "does this person really know what they're doing" question to some extent. I am far far far more worried about the diagnosis-remediation link, though, auditors should NOT be in the business of fixing the problems that they claim to have found, that's a recipe for scams.Andrewnoreply@blogger.com
