  • Residential Bers Survey Results Talking Points
    RESIDENTIAL BERS SURVEY RESULTS TALKING POINTS TRAINING AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY What are some ways in which the training materials can be improved? Content covered in class did not cover most of what was on the test. The FSEC training programs contain outdated information, are presented in a manner you would expect in a 1990 poorly prepared lecture, have incorrect and confusing information and are in need of significant updating/improvement. Field inspection & recap really pulled the training together. Manual is very helpful. The program has greatly improved since 2007 with new training facility that has multiple house units to test from. Strong education overall but lots of small errors and overlap but just like this survey, it appears there is not a lot of support to make all of the small things fit together as well as a course offered by a private company would be. Investigate new technology that actually identify energy related matters (ie: IR camera's). In general, the training program has not been updated since it was created. No doubt this is due to a lack of funding. It is also obvious that many State programs are tied to the Energy Rater program, which is a revenue generator for FSEC, which is a conflict of interest (i.e. they are calling out and soul sourcing a program that they provide and generate revenue from). This is not the only instance of this practice with FSEC. Also, they provide services which compete with the private industry, a conflict of Florida Statute. They make you pay to take the class and then offer the services you just paid for training to offer for free – many of these programs are offered under DOE contracts as to not appear to be a conflict.
