✅ What Is a HERS Rating — and Why Do I Need One?

A HERS Rating (Home Energy Rating System) is a standardized energy performance score for homes. It measures how energy efficient a home is compared to a code-built reference home — the lower the score, the better.

HERS Ratings are required for IECC Performance Path and ERI Path compliance, and often used for Massachusetts Stretch Code, rebate programs, and green building certifications.

The rating includes energy modeling, blower door and duct leakage testing, and a final HERS Index Score — which is submitted to your local code official or utility program.

🛠 Who Needs a HERS Rating?

• Builders using the Performance or ERI Path

• Architects designing energy-efficient homes

• Homeowners applying for rebates or incentives

• **Anyone building in a Stretch Code jurisdiction

If your local building department or energy program asks for a HERS Rating — we’ll make sure you pass.
