Home Energy Inspection
Save energy, increase your family's comfort, and protect the environment. Data will be collected using a specialized calculator to estimate your homes yearly energy usage, develop recommendations for improvements, and determine your potential energy savings. Based on the inspection results, your home will be given a HERS Index Score. Your home's score can be described as a sort of miles-per-gallon (MPG) sticker for houses, giving prospective buyers and homeowners an insight as to how the home ranks in terms of energy efficiency. In addition to a HERS Index Score, a home energy rating also provides the homeowner with a detailed report regarding energy problems in your house. The comprehensive HERS rating provides a computerized simulation analysis utilizing RESNET Accredited Rating Software to calculate a rating score on the HERS Index. The report will also contain a cost/benefit analysis for the recommended improvements and expected return on investment.
A home energy rating is an analysis of a home's efficiency; as per the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index. Developed by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) and introduced in 2006, the HERS Index is the industry standard by which a home's energy efficiency is measured. Government agencies such as the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognize the HERS Index as an official verification of energy performance.
How does the HERS Index work? The HERS Index Score is always relative to the size, shape, and type of house you live in. The lower the number; the more energy efficient the home. A typical resale home represents 130 on the HERS Index while reference home (a standard new home built in 2006) is rated at 100. A home with a HERS Index Score of 70 is 30% more energy efficient than a standard new home. A home with a HERS Index Score of 130 is 30% less energy efficient than a standard new home.
