Retro Ontario seems to be the offical provincial organization for the energuide for houses program. Again, they are quite vague about what is required to get a certificate:
“If you are a renovator or contractor, or if you have specialized knowledge about building science or energy-efficient building practices, you may wish to investigate the possibility of becoming an energy advisor.
If you have the right technical background, good oral and written communications skills, and are willing to undertake additional training, contact us to be considered for an energy advisor position. Find out whether candidates are being screened for training, and whether you have the right background or qualifications.
There are a limited number of opportunities available. Only licensed service organizations hire and train energy advisors. If we are not screening candidates when you call, you can ask to be contacted when new opportunities arise.”
But what is this “right technical background” of which they speak? They
seem reluctant to say…
