Home Performance with ENERGY STAR:
Contractor Resources & Links

Resources

Training and study resources are available through Saturn Resource Management.

We strongly suggest purchasing Residential Energy: Cost Savings and Comfort for Existing Buildings by John Krigger and Chris Dorsi.

The class study guides are:

• Saturn Energy Auditor Field Guide
• Saturn Building Shell Field Guide

The Energy Conservatory user manuals are useful.

Retrotec has been a great supporter of the St. Louis regional HPwES program and has good learning resources.
