HERS Index Score

The HERS (Home Energy Rating System) Index Score measures a home's energy efficiency, similar to a "miles per gallon" rating for vehicles. It compares your home's energy use to a standardized baseline. A lower score indicates a more energy-efficient home, which costs less to operate and has a smaller environmental impact. For example, a HERS score of 0 means a net-zero energy home, while a typical existing home might score 100. Improving your home's efficiency can lower your energy bills and increase comfort, making the HERS Index a useful tool to evaluate and enhance your home's sustainability.
