8. 8 Opportunities for Implementation of Program Over the past decade 28 states have adopted Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standards (EEPS) to encourage conservation and the more efficient use of electric energy. Over 31 states with a Home Performance with Energy Star Program. DOE's Tribal Energy Program includes enhancing human capacity through education and training. Current and upcoming Energy Tax Credit Programs (Proposed 25E) Status of State Energy Codes DOE encourages using new technologies and better building practices to improve energy efficiency. (New Energy Code 2012)

9. Opportunities for Implementation of Program Cont. Better Buildings Program partners with states, local governments, and organizations who received funding to ramp-up energy efficiency building retrofits in their communities. Weatherization Assistance Programs enables low- income families to permanently reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient. Building America residential research works to improve the quality and energy efficiency of homes. The goal is to reduce average housing energy use by 40% to 100%. 9

11. 11 Home Builders Institute Revised National Guidelines for Apprenticeship Standards 29 CFR Part 29 Different Pathways to Apprenticeship Completion: on-the-job learning (OJL) and related training instruction (RTI); Competency- based; and Hybrid. Interim Credentials: Completion of recognized components within an apprenticeable occupation: portable; issued by Registration Agencies; credit for prior experience determined by local apprenticeship committee.

12. 12 The Greening of HBI Apprenticeship In January, 2009, NAHB’s ICC-700 National Green Building Standard™ became the only ANSI-approved green building standard. Integration of ICC-700 into HBI and NAHB training programs: Job Corps Training Achievement Records; Pre-Apprenticeship Certificate Training (PACT); Apprenticeship; Certified Green Builders; Certified Green Remodelers (2009-2010).

13. The Greening of HBI Apprenticeship Cont. NAHB Subject Matter Experts developed occupational skills standards for Weatherization and Solar (Thermal and Photo-voltaic) Installation Technicians (2010). Cengage Delmar publisher of the Residential Construction Academy published “Green Applications for Residential Construction” to supplement the RCA Series (2010) (Related Instruction). 13

14. 14 29 CFR 29 Revision Development of Green Occupational Skills Standards: Weatherization and Solar (Thermal and Photo-Voltaic) (2010) Integration of ICC 700 into pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship training programs (2009-2010) ICC-700 National Green Building Standard™ ANSI-approved, NAHB developed, standard for Green Construction (2009)

15. 15 Revision of HBI’s National Guidelines for Apprenticeship Standards (2010-2011) Industry standards and Related Training Instruction materials for new green construction and weatherization in place. Hybrid Model for Carpentry and Building Maintenance Repairer developed including traditional OJL/RTI and competency-based model. Revised National Guideline Standards include the use of Interim Credentials.

16. Revision of HBI’s National Guidelines Standards for Apprenticeship Standards (2010-2011) Cont. Memorandum of Understanding between HBI’s Facilities Maintenance program at Old Dominion Job Corps Center and Tidewater Builders Association’s Facilities Maintenance Apprenticeship Program signed in March, 2011. Elements of successful Interim Credentials include: agreed upon standards; site visit by apprenticeship director to the Job Corps program, for example, to meet with instructors and students; and clearly define expectations. The decision of the local apprenticeship committee, whether to grant credit or not, is final. 16
