9 Home Energy Score Updates: Statewide adoption beginning 2015 Confirmed: CO, CT, MO, VT Likely: AL, AR, NH, NY 2 cities considering for disclosure NEW: Expanded assessor eligibility MPG for homes Score of 1-10 Identify improvements that will raise a home s score and save money Easy & fast 15 mins if add-on; <1 hr standalone Easy method for collecting and analyzing data Does not replace a full energy audit or diagnostics Growing use, : 17,000+ homes scored 275+ qualified assessors 25 partners across the country Become a New Partner! 9 Contact: Joan Glickman (Joan.Glickman@ee.doe.gov)

10 Home Energy Score Expanded Assessor Eligibility 3-D Tool uses computer-based simulations to recreate a range of jobsite scenarios for training and testing. DOE will now recognize additional certifications (e.g., BPI, RESNET, home inspector, and contractor associations). Many more building professionals will now be able to offer the Score. 10 Contact: Joan Glickman (Joan.Glickman@ee.doe.gov)
