Find Certified Professionals

LaHouse Resource Center offers a variety of educational opportunities for housing professionals to help them produce homes that meet high performance standards and offer owners the benefits they seek. Attendees receive Certificates of Attendance that indicate their interest and initiative in learning.

Among the training are four certification or designation programs that include training and assessments that require candidates to demonstrate a level of mastery to earn the credential. These include:

• EPA Certified Lead-Safe Renovator - Find certified contractors at the bottom righthand section of the EPA's website to do repair, renovation or painting on a pre-1978 home - to protect yourself and family from lead poisoning.
• Duct and Envelope Testing (DET) Verifier (Southface certified) - Check our DET and HVAC certified verifiers page to find certified verifiers trained by LaHouse instructors for the 2021 energy code building tightness and duct leakage requirements. They can properly conduct blower door and duct leakage measurements and measure air changes per hour.
• HVAC for Home Performance (includes Southface DET certification) - Check our DET and HVAC certified verifiers page to find professionals who completed the 3-day LaHouse HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) course and achieved DET Verifier certification.
