My brother will be finishing up some college courses for this very position in December. He's been looking for almost a year and couldn't find anything in his area. He's now working as an intern about 40 miles from his home and he loves it. Of course the pay is very little, but the experience and networking will open doors (hopefully) to something more substantial. He works with a bunch of engineers.
He's more interested in commercial energy auditing than residential but it doesn't hurt to know a little about that too.
As we become a more energy conscious society, I think it's a very good career move. But whether or not the jobs are out there, that's another story.
You basically go to buildings and homes and assess where they could be saving energy. Insullation, new windows, updating heating and ac systems and making the climate conrols more efficent
Does anyone know where to get a certification for this job? I have looked online and I have come up with a few courses and organizations that offer an energy auditing certifcation, but it seems like there are many "fly-by-night" certification programs poping up everywhere.
Call your local community colleges and universities. Perhaps someone there can help direct you. Or maybe your state's energy office.
