RESNET Exam

[Michael Carson]

Been gone lately studying for the RESNET exam on Monday. Has anyone taken it lately, if so, how did it go and what material did you find most helpful? Were there very many math questions on it? That triangle is my enemy [:-slaphap

Thanks for the help/info.

Whew. Unless you're with a class and an experienced instructor, you can be all over the map with resources.

"Residential Energy" by John Krigger and Chris Dorsi is probably the single-most helpful text.

If you don't have it, you won't be able to get it by Monday though.

Thanks for the information, I have that book and have read it several times. The math seems to get me especially that @#$% triangle[:-monkeyd

I am having trouble with the ARI website, there must be an age limit when it comes to looking up equipment because I am unable to make it work.

Another is figuring out C, n, p and R. It gets a little confusin at times.

Michael,

Have you taken any training or just taking the test? I took the exam 2 years ago and did not find it very difficult but I took a course with the exam at the end. There could be as many as 5 - 10 "math" questions. Do you have any hands on experience with the equipment? The questions on zone pressure differences can be tricky.

Took the test today, kick in the shorts, I passed though. I took the Krigger course through his company Saturn. Then was accepted into Wisconsin Focus on Energy Program for hands on and the test.

One question was, I believe, if a building uses 58,500000 BTU's annually, to heat with electric resistance, how much would it cost annually if a KWh was 13 cents?

I purchased a blower door through Minneapolis, already had thermal. I bought the Fyrite Insight combustion gas analyzer, I love that thing.

Have to figure out some marketing.

Thank you for the information and feedback. [:-monkeyd

Congratulations. The test isn't easy.

Keep us posted on how your energy business grows.

All us enquiring minds want to know!

Michael,

1 kw/hr = 3413 btus

58,500,000/3413 x .13 = $2240.04
