NREL advances the science and engineering of energy efficiency, sustainable transportation, and renewable power technologies and provides the knowledge to integrate and optimize energy systems. Located in the foothills of Golden, Colorado, NREL is the only federal laboratory dedicated to the research, development, commercialization, and deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. The Alliance, as the Prime Contractor for the DOE to manage and operate NREL, is seeking a subcontractor to provide Psychometric Services for Updating the Multifamily Home Energy Professional Job Task Analysis (Energy Auditor and Quality Control Inspector). National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is facilitating the development of a job task analysis (JTA) for multifamily (MF) energy auditors and quality control inspectors that could be used by training entities to align training curriculum when providing accredited multifamily training to the marketplace. The JTA identifies and catalogs the job tasks, a worker performs in a given job category, and the essential knowledge statements, defining the minimum requirements necessary for a person to adequately perform his/her job.
