Energy Audit FAQs

What Type of Energy Audit Training Will I Receive From EAI?

EAI provides Residential and Commercial energy audit training which covers the most common energy consumption aspects of homes and businesses. You will learn how to do a visual examination using specific steps, methods and calculations. You will be required to examine the current energy use of a building, facility or structure and determine its current energy usage and make recommendations for improvement. The objective of the audit is to identify areas to reduce energy use and save money on energy costs. The average EAI energy audit finds homeowners and business owners a savings of 30% on their monthly energy costs.

Are You Going To Teach Me How To Install or Modify Energy Systems ?

No, energy auditing is simply an analysis business and we do not teach specific trades such as plumbing, electrical, or insulation installation. We recommend that you find some good contractors in your area that you can outsource projects to. Having trusted contractors that come in after your audit to upgrade the building can earn you even more by having them give you a commission for each job you refer.

Are You Going To Mail Me The Training?

If you purchase the PRINTED VERSION - then yes! All other orders that go through the Download Now will receive the training materials and software through a secure download. Each of the training modules within the download are PDF files. The software files are either MS-Word or MS-Excel. The reason we are offer a download version now instead of just printed manuals is that we frequently provide updates via email (free of charge). This would require us to reprint manuals way too much. If you would like a hard copy but don't want to pay the shipping fee of $50.00 we recommend simply printing out the training documents and placing them into a binder. This will enable you to create note pages and continue to add to the materials as you go.

Do I Receive Any Training Updates?

Yes, our programs are updated periodically and you receive FREE UPDATES sent to you via email. There is no time limit on receiving updates. If you no longer wish to receive our training updates, simply select the "opt-out" link at the bottom of the update email.

How Long Does Each Training Program Take To Complete?

You will be able to instantly download the materials we send you via email. Once you have them, you can take up to 90 days to complete the training program and online certification exam. If you require longer, just send us an email and we will extend your time. Most of our clients are able to complete each training program and the certification exam within 2 weeks studying part-time from home.

What Is EAI's relationship with the Energy Efficiency Association?

All our materials are reviewed and approved by the Energy Efficiency Association. The association acts as our regulatory group to ensure that we meet the highest standards in professionalism and provide real-world efficiency techniques and practices. Upon completing your Energy Auditor Training Course you will receive your certification signed by EAI and the Energy Efficiency Association.

How Long Do I Have To Complete My Energy Auditor Certification Course?

There is no time limit. The only part of the process that expires is the username and password we send you from our testing center. Your account is activated for 90 days. If you need more time to prepare for your Energy Auditor Certification Exam, please contact us and we will supply you with an updated login / password.

Is There Anywhere In the USA That I Can’t Do An Audit With The Certification I Receive?

NO. The certification you receive from the Energy Audit Institute is valid in all 50 United States. The only current restriction is you can not do the "Home Sale Certfication" audit in Austin, Texas. Austin has developed an ordinance that requires homeowners to have an energy audit completed when they sell their homes. Energy audits from RESNET and BPI are the only ones approved. We are working with the City of Austin and Austin Electric to have EAI Home Energy Certified Auditors be on their approved list. If you are looking for that specialized training from EAI, please check back with us soon as we anticipate receiving approval shortly.
