This is a reminder for Participating Contractors installing spray foam through EmPower+ or Comfort Home. NYSERDA is requiring training for individuals working on spray foam projects to be completed no later than October 1, 2025. A list of the required training for Field Employees, Applicators, Crew Leaders, and Auditors can be found on the contractor support site at https://hpwescontractorsupport.com/program-resources/sprayfoamresources/.

Contractors are required to keep documentation of the trainings, including the training title, staff names, and dates the training was completed.

Contractors will need to submit a signed attestation verifying their company meets the new training requirements. This attestation form can be found at https://hpwescontractorsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Spray-Foam-Training-Requirements-Contractor-Acknowledgement-Form.pdf. Once completed, contractors can submit it to support.residential@nyserda.ny.gov.

Information on the Spray Foam Training Requirements was provided as part of the November 1, 2024, Contractor Check-in Webinar, which was recorded and can be found at https://hpwescontractorsupport.com/webinars/.
