Welcome to the Home Energy Score 3D Training Pilot

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)  is developing a 3-D Immersive Simulation Training and Testing (Home Energy Score 3D) software program for Home Energy Score assessor candidates.  

The Home Energy Score, developed and managed by DOE, allows consumers to quickly understand and compare the energy performance of their homes to others nationwide. Qualified Assessors collect information during a brief home walk-through and then use a standardized software tool to score homes on a 10-point scale, with a score of 10 indicating that the home exhibits excellent energy performance.

A New Way of Training  and Testing
The Home Energy Score 3D uses computer-based simulations to recreate a range of job-site scenarios.  This tool will allow partners to train their workforce and qualify individuals without costly class-room training and testing.

Join the pilot and see for yourself.  Registration is open.

Project Benefits to Participating Organizations

  • Waiver of the any fees for one year to access the Home Energy Score web site for completion of assessments;
  • Access to free immersive 3-D simulation training and testing for candidates selected from your organization;
  • Input into Sim training and testing design and feedback on study outcomes;
  • The chance to develop and qualify DOE qualified Home Energy Score Assessors at no charge.

What do we have to do?

As a participating organization there are a few expectations that need to be fulfilled:
  • Recruitment and identification of potential HEScore candidates in accordance with study requirements from your organization’s ranks;
  • Management of candidates obligations to the project with respect to training, testing and assessment completions; *
  • Minimal reporting of candidate activity as the validation component of the study is implemented;
*Because of the demographic, experience and skills requirements of the study, not all registered candidates may be selected for all or parts of the study.
