Allen - you can get a bit of a sense from our on-line surveys, but only a few Home Energy Pros have answered so far, so keep an eye on this as the numbers increase.

A new experiment relevant to this group is the Home Energy Score Pilot tests for home energy ratings using a new low-cost protocol. They have 10 sites across the country. Join the HEP Group dedicated to these pilots to follow what's happening.

We've just posted a great article about RESNET's program program to recruit raters to help rebuild New Orleans, "Raters at the Roundtable", from our Nov/Dec issue. It's a freebie, on me!
