Welcome to NCBPA's RESNET Providership!

 

The NCBPA began offering its Providership in Septemner of 2014 at the request of Home Energy Raters across the state who, for many years, have been interested in establishing a centralized nonprofit RESNET Providership to achieve the following benefits:

 

  1. Lower the cost of performing home energy ratings by consolidating the fees, certification processing steps, quality assurance services and more into one organization.

  2. Market the valuable role of Home Energy Raters in North Carolina to Builders, Homeowners and other stakeholders that benefit from home energy ratings.

  3. Provide the best technical assistance and quality assurance services available in the state, so that all Home Energy Raters are well-trained and have the resources they need to be successful and support their clients.

 

Our Providership is based upon the principle of working together to realize shared benefits, and then competing as rating companies on a larger playing field across the state.  By operating a RESNET Providership with many of our state's HERS Raters included, together we can lower the cost of certification processing, streamline quality assurance practices and work together to grow our industry.
