The NERI - National Energy Retrofit Institute - trained and certified professionals are geared up and ready to help homeowners manage their improvement projects effectively and certify the design and installation so the improvements not only cost tests to establish gold label standards but also qualify for mortgages, refinancing, rebates and incentives. This program is Just what Kansas City needs in the mist of economic recession and mass confusion in the weatherization and energy efficiency marketplace.

In our 30+ years of energy testing and certification experience we have been involved in some of the most advanced energy projects in the USA.

Our highly trained and certified staff members are not only knowledgeable about the current laws and regulations but are also lending our collective experience and expertise to those who are shaping new and upcoming green legislation.

As a dedicated provider of energy services, we have a fully licensed, insured and highly trained team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about energy and green programs.· With our expertise and experience we are regarded as one of the most influential players in the new energy economy.

Our nationally-recognized providership, Accurate Rater Network, is a BPI training affiliate, a RESNET accredited training, QA & sampling provider and also a US Green Building Council LEED for Homes provider.

We offer fully automated energy audits that allow our clients to control and view the progress of their energy audits through their own online portal.  By requesting an energy audit, all transactions are conducted through the Retrofit Exchange electronic energy retrofit marketplace.  The Retrofit Exchange automates the entire energy improvement process, from the initial energy audit/rating through automated improvement report/analysis directly into energy mortgage financing and then verified completion.  This unique online system streamlines the energy audit process to help you achieve consistently high quality audits while helping to track and schedule all of the work.

Hathmore also offers online training through our ConnectCollege.com website.  Electronic learning at its best!

DYO Section

For those of you DIY-DYO types, we offer our DYO^® Kits so that you can Do-Your-Own energy audits or make the best green/sustainable decisions with limited resources.  Of course, a kit is not a substitute for professional energy audits or a green design team but, since money is scarce these days, at least a DYO Kit is a start.  Please click on the advertisements below for more information.
