Opportunity to Plug Into the Information Source on Building Performance

This message is to invite you to plug into a dynamic source on the latest information on building performance and home energy ratings.  As a member of the Residential Energy Services Network I have found my membership invaluable.  I urge you to become a member of RESNET and be part of the national voice of the home energy rating industry.

There are two categories of RESNET membership:

Rater Member
RESNET has two visions for the success for the rating industry. The first is setting the standards for quality of rating services thereby enhancing the credibility of the entire rating industry. The second is to help raters succeed in becoming profitable businesses. RESNET believes that the success of raters is everyone’s success.

The benefits of being a rater member of RESNET are:

·         Post your company on the RESNET web site directory of raters. Only RESNET rater members will be listed on RESNET’s web site.  This page has been featured in such national publications as Wall Street Journal, U.S. Today, New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Money magazine, Smart Money magazine, and Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth  

·         Free subscription to Home Energy Magazine, the premier journal of the home performance industry 

·         Discount to the annual RESNET Building Performance Conference 

·         Subscription to the RESNET news feature “RESNET Notes” 

·         Eligibility for affordable business and professional liability insurance that is only available to RESNET rater members 

·         Eligibility for a special RESNET Rater Member Seal of Quality to show your commitment to high standards 

RESNET rater members are finding that being listed on the RESNET web site’s rater directory results in increased business. Some examples are:

"When I first joined RESNET, I didn't realize how much it would increase my professional image. I also didn't realize how valuable it would be to be mentioned on their website. Within the first week of being on the website, I received 2 calls. I am now averaging about 10 - 12 calls each month originating from the site. That has turned out to be tremendous, free advertising."
- Barb Yankie - Homes+, Inc.

"When an article appeared in the Washington Post that contained the link to RESNET's rater directory my firm immediately booked 21 jobs. Within a month we booked an additional 90 jobs, all of the contacts coming from the RESNET web site. With the heightened consumer interest due to rising heating costs, a rater has no excuse for not having work."
- Lee O'Neil - NSpects

"The RESNET web site has brought us more business than any other marketing tool we've used so far."
 - Curtis B. Magnuson - Palladio DaVinci, Ltd.
