Raters
Rater Requirements
- HERS raters must complete a participation agreement to submit homes and receive incentives through SnoPUD Green Home Rewards.
- Submissions must be completed and reported by an eligible and certified HERS rater under an approved HERS Provider.
- HERS raters must remain in good standing, and maintain a “Passing” quality assurance score, to submit homes to SnoPUD Green Home Rewards.
- All submissions of incentive and participation applications for SnoPUD Green Home Rewards are completed through an online submission portal.
- Incentive applications will be made by the HERS rater on behalf of the builder via the Compass tracking system, which will accept uploads of energy models and calculate the associated savings and incentive value.
- All applications must be made via PSD’s Compass software platform. Homes must be modeled in REM/Rate or Ekotrope software. Applications also require:
- The final HERS Rating or ENERGY STAR Certification Date.
- The Snohomish PUD electric meter number and photo of the meter
- SnoPUD Green Home Rewards will verify quarterly that each home submitted by participating Raters has also been submitted to their HERS provider to meet all of RESNET’s national standards. This process ensures that participating raters are undergoing not only SnoPUD Green Homes Rewards QA, but QA as required by their Accredited HERS Provider Agreements.
