meets minimum training requirements, cer-
tification requirements, and other require-
ments established by the Secretary; and 
(ii) includes installation of 1 or more 
home energy efficiency retrofit measures 
that are modeled to achieve, or are shown 
to achieve, the minimum reduction re-
quired in home energy use, or with respect
