There continues to be a consistent drum beat for Energy Efficiency both as a complement to renewable energy projects and as an economic stimulus ("Cash for Caulkers"). I heartily support the former but I am skeptical of the latter. I add in note that Energy Efficiency projects will qualify for most California AB811-type programs.
Which leads me to the following questions: (1) How does one become a certified energy efficiency "rater" or "consultant" in the state of California? Which are the best programs and certifications? (2) Assuming that the bulk of the upgrade work involves replacing doors and windows, caulking same, and adding attic insulation -- what CA "C" licenses are relevant? - Peter Peter T.
