\nAdvancement is very excited to announce the certification of the 1,000th<\/sup>
\nCertified Insulation Energy Appraiser. Glenn Vande Walle with Bay Industries,

\npassing the exam, he became the 1,000th<\/sup> person to become a Certified
\nInsulation Energy Appraiser!<\/span><\/p>\n
\ncourse was developed in 2001 to teach students how to determine the optimal
\ninsulation thickness and corresponding energy and dollar savings for mechanical
\ninsulation projects. The program gives students the information needed to
\nexplain the value of properly installed mechanical insulation systems to
\ncustomers.<\/span><\/p>\n
\ncurriculum includes instruction in the 3E Plus\u00ae<\/sup> insulation thickness
\ncalculation software, how to interview customers, conducting a facility
\nwalk-through, determining the amount of greenhouse gases saved through the use
\nof insulation, analyzing and completing an appraisal spreadsheet, and preparing
\na final report for the customer that outlines this information. Students who
\nattend the 2-day IEAP training course and pass the exam become Certified
\nInsulation Energy Appraisers. Their certification is valid for 3 years and
\nrenewed by providing information about appraisals or passing an online exam.<\/span><\/p>\n
\ninterest in recent years. Appraisers are bringing awareness regarding the
