Have you submitted any HERS ratings to the RESNET registry in 2026? If so... let's schedule your 1% Field QA! ⁠
⁠
RESNET requires that Providers perform a field quality assurance (QA) review on 1% of a rater’s Confirmed and Sampled ratings each year.⁠
⁠
Scheduling your 1% Field QA early helps ensure availability and avoids the year-end rush, when limited openings could make it harder to get your QA completed in time. Delaying may result in restrictions on submitting new ratings at the start of the following year. ⁠
⁠
Reach out to to schedule your 1% QA today by calling 1-800-399-9620 x3, then x2, or emailing us at [email protected].

BER Field QAD Noah Hanley demonstrates how Footnote 75 in Revision 4 of the ENERGY STAR Multifamily Rater Field Checklist (Footnote 74 in Revision 5) applies when a continuous exhaust fan does not meet the 5 ACH target. In these situations, 50 CFM of continuous exhaust may be used as an alternative, provided the exhaust fan or intake grille is located within 10 feet of the edge of the range.
