“Allison Bailes provided HERS training to me at a recent HERS Rater training course. He is extremely knowledgeable in building science and provided excellent training. He also is very patient and was very concerned about providing the requisite information for his students to not only pass the HERS training curriculum but to ensure that we as HERS raters would be best prepared to execute this training in the field. I highly recommend Allison for training or other services he may provide in the area of building science.”

“Allison was one of two instructors for the recent course work I completed for my HERS Rater certification. Allison has a wealth of knowledge in the field; his knowledge is rich both in its breadth and its depth. He clearly presents the material and provides relevant / ideal illustrations that really bring the concepts home. He and the other instructor worked well together to keep that class focused on the vast content that was to be presented and held the class to the tight schedule that was necessary to accomplish all that was required. His input, both in the confines of the classroom as well as side conversations, was greatly beneficial to me as I work towards setting up a new business in the HERS Rating market. He is genuinely interested in the energy conservation market and that comes out in his conversation and presentation of the material.”

“Allison was hired to design and teach a training class to introduce our employees to HERS ratings and general building science. He took a difficult and complex subject and condensed it into an enlightening and entertaining two hour class that made quite an impression on our staff. Allison is an expert in his field, a very effective and accessible trainer, and an all-around great guy. We hope to partner with him on future projects.”
