Licensed Energy Advisors
An Energy Advisor is trained to provide builders, renovators and homeowners guidance and direction on ways one can improve and measure the energy efficiency of a home.
There are many labelling programs available for residential construction. A CHBA BC Energy Advisor is licensed to deliver the EnerGuide Rating System for New Homes.
The EnerGuide label is often used in partnership with other labelling programs such as ENERGY STAR®, BUILT GREEN® and the CHBA Net Zero Home Labelling Program.
An Energy Advisor will:
Provide an evaluation of the home based on plans prior to construction.
Provide details as to the best materials to maximize air quality and energy efficiency.
Use tools and perform testing to ensure that the building envelope is performing at its best.
Offer suggestions to improve the energy usage of the home with or without mechanical systems.
Bring third-party verification and inspection to the project using the EnerGuide Rating System.
Provide further details of labelling programs that may be the best fit for the project.
Test the home at completion, create a final report and provide documentation for an EnerGuide* label.
