Thank you for your interest in becoming an MEA Approved Evaluator. This application outlines the requirements for obtaining your MEA Approved Evaluator ID (EVID).
To avoid delays in the review and approval process, please complete all three steps outlined below as soon as possible. Your application will not be considered complete until all required information and documentation have been received.

- Take the MEA Approved Evaluator online training course and knowledge test. After your complete application has been received, MEA will provide you with login credentials to access the required online evaluator courses. Completion of these two courses, along with your CNP Evaluator Training, satisfies the training and testing requirements for obtaining your MEA Approved Evaluator ID (EVID).Your EVID will not be issued until all required training has been successfully completed. To maintain your evaluator status, the online training and knowledge test must be completed every three years.
- Obtain an EnergyU login. If you do not already have an EnergyU login, contact your company’s EnergyU Administrator to request access.
You must have an EnergyU account through the company for which you will be conducting evaluations. Before performing evaluations using your company login, complete Step 2 above and verify that your MEA Approved Evaluator ID (EVID) has been added to your EnergyU account.
Failure to complete these requirements may delay the issuance of your EVID or result in the suspension of your approved evaluator status.
