EnergyLogic announces Owens Corning as a flagship sponsor of Game of Homes, EnergyLogic's new, free training platform for home performance professionals. Game of Homes takes a departure from traditional classroom and online training courses by applying gaming designs and concepts to learning scenarios that are interactive, engaging and entertaining. Home performance professionals – such as energy raters, remodelers, retrofitters and others involved in the process of improving the comfort, safety and energy efficiency of a home – gain valuable continuing education units (CEUs) they can apply toward industry certification programs such as the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) and the Building Performance Institute (BPI).
"Owens Corning's collaboration with EnergyLogic brings additional depth to the resources and partnership we provide building professionals to help them stay at the top of their game," said Todd Fister, vice president of strategic marketing, Insulation, Owens Corning. "This edutainment-driven approach to training represents a truly innovative and user-friendly solution to help these pros gain new knowledge and advance their home performance practices."
According to Matt Thornberry, training and education manager for EnergyLogic, Game of Homes is geared to reach the approximately 35,000 home performance professionals in the U.S., as well as more than 100,000 home inspectors.
"Game of Homes offers users a fresh approach to the ‘death-by-PowerPoint' training that plagues our industry," Thornberry said. "We believe that excellent training is critical to the success of the building science industry – and a more sustainable world. But our industry is historically guilty of offering training based on boring presentations and lectures. That's not how people learn. People learn by doing," he added.

Game of Homes helps energy professionals become critical thinkers and make smarter decisions about ways to make homes efficient, safe, healthy and durable. Users are faced with complex choices they must make about the home's systems – from ventilation systems to furnace equipment to insulation materials – that simulate a home's performance. These scenarios are developed based on real-world situations that experienced professionals have encountered in the field. For example, one situation involves a serious mold condition; another is based on a career-threatening condition in the home of a vocal coach. The game features actual products the pros use – such as Owens Corning's residential insulation products – to make for a realistic online experience.
Game of Homes taps into people's natural desire for competition, achievement and community status, using leaderboards, achievements and social interaction as techniques to deeply engage players as a community. Players can earn achievements through the accumulation of points awarded for correct decisions they make during the interactive scenarios and challenges. In addition, the system tracks points and issues professional development credits for various home energy certifications such as RESNET and BPI.
