What's the HERS rating?
You will see that we show the HERS energy rating for all our designs. The lower the number, the better!
The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the industry standard by which a home's energy efficiency is measured. It’s also the nationally recognized system for inspecting and calculating a home’s energy performance. We average a HERS score of 63 on our homes…that equates to more than 30% energy efficiency than a typical home. Many older homes will have a score of 130 which is 30% less energy efficient.
