HOW DO WE MEASURE ENERGY EFFICIENCY?

Efficiency Yardstick

The HERS Index is a score that compares estimated energy use of a home (Rated Home) as a ratio of a similar home built to the 2006 IECC (Reference Home)

A home with a score of 65 would use approximately 35% less energy than the Reference Home
