John Ruskin     In this episode of RESTalk, host Bill Spohn is joined by Scott Doyle and Ryan Meres from RESNET\u00ae to discuss their ambitious goal of achieving one million ratings annually by 2028. The conversation begins with an overview of RESNET\u00ae's significant progress, which recorded 360,000 ratings in 2023\u2014a 136% increase since 2013. The discussion highlights the importance of quality assurance in maintaining the credibility of the HERS rating system, particularly as RESNET\u00ae scales its operations and engages more stakeholders.   Scott Doyle, the Managing Director of Quality Assurance at RESNET\u00ae, emphasizes the critical role of quality assurance in ensuring consistency and reliability in the HERS rating process. This is especially important as RESNET\u2019s\u00ae influence grows, necessitating the trust of external stakeholders. Ryan elaborates on how the RESNET\u00ae self-funding model, primarily through fees for homes submitted to their registry, has allowed the organization to expand its staff and services since 2017 without relying on government grants.   The episode also explores opportunities to expand HERS\u00ae ratings in new and existing home markets. Ryan and Scott discuss how federal tax credits, builder incentives, and new technologies drive interest in HERS\u00ae ratings, particularly among large national production builders. They also touch on the potential for growth in the existing homes market, especially among companies that manage large portfolios of older properties. The conversation concludes with a call to action for HERS\u00ae raters to build capacity in anticipation of the growing demand for energy, water, and carbon ratings and energy codes services and a reminder of the importance of attending the upcoming RESNET\u00ae conference to stay informed and connected in the industry.   Link to the 2025 RESNET\u00ae Conference: https:\/\/whova.com\/web\/O69mUZ3%40Ukqwwk5w4pS%40yN-VrNyD68R4WHS7uRqUeos%3D\/ To the RESNET\u00ae community, we hear you and want to engage.
