RaterFest 2024 Sessions
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Certification as a Service
Certification as a Service
Goal:
Identify opportunities, issues, and recommendations for HERS community to enhance builder business outcomes from high-performance home certification working with a Certification as a Service (CaaS) aggregator.
Purpose:
Get input and feedback from HERS professionals on a new CaaS aggregator concept for offering significant additional services beyond HERS verification before, during, and after sale designed to enhance high-performance builder outcomes.

Sam Rashkin
Learning Outcomes:
- Shared understanding of a CaaS aggregator concept for high-performance home programs
- List of services and that would enhance high-performance home builders’ business outcomes
- List of issues/concerns HERS professionals might have collaborating with a CaaS aggregator to provide services that enhance high-performance home builder business outcomes
Measuring Part 5, Refrigerant Charge, of the RESNET/ACCA/ANSI Standard 310
Joe Medosch {med-osh}
Joe Medosch will demonstrate how simple it is to measure Part 5, Refrigerant Charge, of the RESNET/ACCA/ANSI Standard 310 This can be completed by Anyone!
Procedure: using your hand, confirm cold air inside and “beer can cold” refrigerant line outside = Done. Can it be done accurately and w/o being EPA Refrigerant charge certified = Yes. Can you also measure system SCFM, possible return duct leakage, refrigerant charge including superheat and subcooling and check for 100+ faults in the system w/o pressure gauges? measureQuick does!
Over a dozen studies confirmed most AC systems have either airflow or refrigerant charge faults (or both). A 2018 DOE study found heating and air conditioning installations had at least one fault in 70–90% of homes, and when duct leakage is considered, this number increases to 90–100%. Improper installation leads to increased energy use, comfort issues, warranty claims, callbacks, and higher H/AC repair costs over the lifetime of the equipment.
Fixing these two faults alone has the potential to decrease residential cooling energy loads by 5–10%. Researchers at NREL estimate that central air conditioners and air-source heat pumps in the US waste 20.7 terawatt hours (TWh) of energy per year due to equipment faults. Convert that to energy generated by hydroelectric - it’s 5.7 times the volume of Lake Mead at its highest level. Which is 8.5 trillion gallons of water.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identifying the requirements for part 5 of the RESNET/ACCA/ANSI Standard 310
- Calculate refrigerant pressure from temperatures
- Understanding how this option confirms compliance and reduces failures for your builders
- Learn how to add this to the other sections of Standard 310 and complete the entire compliance pathway

Raising the Stakes: Is RESNET Ready For The Big Leagues?
Scott Doyle
In 2023, the RESNET Board of Directors adopted an ambitious and growth-oriented goal for the organization. The target: achieve an annual rate of one million ratings per year by 2028. RESNET staff developed a plan and a budget that we believe is actually achievable and can meet this (Big Hairy Audacious) goal. But this session is not intended to deep dive into the details of this plan. It’s about the conditions that make it possible to even set this goal. It’s about what it means for us to have a seat at the proverbial “big boy” table. Just how high are the stakes here and who is assuming the risk? What role can each of us play in ensuring our collective success?
Learning Outcomes:
- Learn what is different about the way external stakeholders are engaging with RESNET, and what this means for future opportunities for raters.

The HVAC Science Behind the Standard 310
Joe Medosch
The Standard 310 finally provides a new level of evaluating the performance of Heating and Cooling systems. But how can four measurements, none being the refrigerant pressure, determine that a system is Grade 1? Welcome to H/AC Science - the final frontier!
Throughout this session, we will focus on the measurements of proper refrigerant, and indirect airflow and how they are directly correlated. We will unpack the non-invasive test method which is a powerful method to confirm that the system is operating correctly based on the existing indoor and outdoor conditions (Yes, we’ll cover the limitations).
Std 310 Sect 5. "Refrigerant Charge" has its own complexities but knowing key data points such as SEER and outdoor temperature will easily allow you to complete this section. We will break down how and when to collect these data points and the applied math and science needed to interoperate this data and complete the section.
Learning Outcomes:
- Explain the DTD (Design Temperature Difference), and what drives the calculation
- Understand the CTOA (Condensing Temperature Over Ambient), and what impacts the calculation
- Explore limitations on the indoor and outdoor temperatures
- Know where to place the probes for optimum measurements
- Understand why these measurements are taken

FAQs
Your Questions Answered
What clothing should I bring to the conference?
Casual and comfortable attire! Being in the mountains we have unpredictable weather, so pack layers! Bring a jacket, hat, mittens and a scarf if you prefer. Anything that keeps you warm on those colder days and nights.
What about shoes?
Comfortable walking shoes, hiking boots if you plan on hitting the trails, slippers for hanging out in your lodge or cabin. There are community showers in the cabins and lodges. Bring your shower shoes if this is something you prefer.
I am flying into Denver International Airport, how do I get to the venue?
Your best option (if you don't intend on renting a car) will be a ride-share service like Lyft or Uber from the airport to the venue. We will also set up a carpooling form so you can split the ride-share cost with a fellow attendee. Don't forget your RETURN ride back to the airport. It will be important for you to set up your return ride-share prior to your Sunday departure. The location is a bit remote and can be hard to find a ride-share if you wait last minute.
Will you have a first aid kit?
Yes! We will have Band-Aids, Neosporin, allergy medicine, ibuprofen, and bug spray. If you need something specific for your medical needs, please be sure to bring that with you.
Where is the nearest hospital?
Centura St. Anthony Summit Hospital (33.2 miles)
Denver Health (40.8 miles)
Is there WIFI at the venue?
Yes, although it can be spotty. Feel free to bring your laptop and charging cord. You can also bring a notebook and paper!
Will my cell phone work up in the mountains?
This is another tricky question. You should have decent cell reception depending on your cell phone carrier, but there is no guarantee. The venue has landlines available if you need to place a call.
Does the venue have proper lighting at night?
Bringing a flashlight or headlamp is a great idea. The mountains tend to be very dark unless it's a clearer night and the moonlight can help pave your way.
