CREIA’s Energy Efficiency Portal

Welcome to CREIA's Energy Efficiency Portal. The portal is designed to offer guidance, training, and opportunities around energy efficiency for CREIA's Home Inspectors. Our portal will be updated on training offerings & programs and updates on CREIA's Energy Efficiency Initiative.

Energy Efficiency continues to evolve in importance for every homeowner. Rising & complicated utility costs, sustainability, durability, health & safety are important for every homeowner.

CREIA’s Energy Efficiency Committee (EEC) has created a path for home inspectors to include energy efficiency in their home inspection process and offer new services in certified energy assessments.

Training

Training on energy efficiency is regularly available from energy utilities and regional energy networks (RENs). They offer monthly or quarterly schedules. It's recommended to email subscribe to these local providers to receive updates.
