EnergyLogic ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence

The ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Application Process

Each year, we submit a detailed, data-driven application demonstrating our commitment to the ENERGY STAR program. It is a chance to show how we protect the environment, lead our industry, and promote energy-efficient products and services through ENERGY STAR. It’s especially exciting to highlight our work on the development and adoption of strategies that provide substantial savings in our Colorado homes. Winners are selected from a network of thousands of ENERGY STAR partners. We are proud to win yet another Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence award.

In celebration, here is a summary of our proudest contributions to ENERGY STAR in 2018:

  • We verified 1,825 ENERGY STAR certified homes in 2018 for a cumulative total of 34,321 ENERGY STAR certified homes verified since 2006.
  • We inspected more than 6,492 homes in 2018 for code or program compliance, quality assurance, and builder risk with 29% of total inspection work completed for ENERGY STAR requirements.
  • We worked with 43 Rater Partners who verified 341 of EnergyLogic’s 1,825 ENERGY STAR Certified homes in 2018. We helped implement ENERGY STAR community-wide standards through vetting, development, and on-going dialogue to help grow the ENERGY STAR Certified Homes Program.
  • We engaged and trained national production builders and several regional builders on ENERGY STAR’s requirements and sales strategies.
  • We continue to integrate the QA GenieLite software into our internal and external quality assurance programs to ensure the quality of the RESNET® HERS Index verification, which is critical to the certification of ENERGY STAR homes.
  • We presented on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at local and national meetings.

Recruitment & Retention Efforts

  • We worked with a growing builder in Colorado Springs to increase their ENERGY STAR certification rate by 14.28% compared to the prior year.
  • We certified six Home Energy Raters and three Rating Field Inspectors with ENERGY STAR certification.
  • We recruited 12 Builder partners to implement and/or increase their level of commitment to ENERGY STAR certifications.

How We Assisted with Homebuyer Education

  • In collaboration with local Home Builder Associations across the Front Range, we presented three educational sessions on the topic of High-Performance Home Sales and Marketing, including ENERGY STAR resources to over 40 industry professionals.
  • We presented High-Performance Home Sales and Marketing training to five individual Builder Partners, presenting cumulatively for over 30 sales and marketing professionals.

How We Implemented Innovative Quality Assurance Approaches

  • Through a broad range of growing partnerships across the country, EnergyLogic has adopted remote ENERGY STAR QA Project Support to efficiently provide timely insights. This support is often provided via conference calls, webinars, and email to communicate industry changes and updates specific to ENERGY STAR processes.
  • EnergyLogic performs 100% quality control file review of all HERS Rating software files with QA GenieLite software to ensure “above and beyond RESNET® minimum standard” quality assurance practices. We also utilize QA GenieLite to review all rating files within our providership to help quickly uncover mistakes and identify problem trends.
  • By attending EnergyLogic’s annual RaterFest! conference, energy professionals earn a total of 18 credit hours of Continuing Education (CEUs), far exceeding RESNET® professional development requirements.

How We Demonstrated Industry Leadership with ENERGY STAR

  • We are an annual participant of the ENERGY STAR Certified Homes Stakeholder Meeting, as well as consistent participants in various ENERGY STAR program update discussions.
  • We consistently demonstrate the link between code compliance and ENERGY STAR. We do this through industry partner support and collaboration on programs such as; RESNET®, EEBA, RESNET® HERS builder incentive programs, green homes, and various local utility entities. Our goal is to help our partners achieve a deeper level of understanding of what it means for homes to earn the ENERGY STAR label.
