The Numbers Add Up to Savings

The Home Energy Rating System Index® — better known as HERS — is how the homebuilding industry scores a home’s energy efficiency. When it comes to your home’s HERS rating, the lower the number the better.

Your Mid-Atlantic Builders home will save you thousands of dollars, year after year.

HersIndex-2020-Horizontal  

*Efficiency savings will vary based upon the size and design of the selected home. The HERS Index® is a registered trademark of the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET®). The HERS Index® is a scoring system established by RESNET® in which a home built to the specifications of the HERS Reference Home (based on the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code) rates a HERS Index® of 100, while a net zero energy home rates a HERS Index® of 0. HERS rating information is based on an average of 2012 closings. The lower a home’s HERS Index®, the more energy efficient it is in comparison to the HERS Reference Home. Actual savings may vary and may depend in part on occupant behavior, timing and/or fluctuating costs of energy usage and actual climate zone conditions. Mid-Atlantic Builders cannot guarantee utility usage, energy costs or savings, and cannot guarantee that any home will have a HERS Index® Confirmed Rating equal to or lower than the Projected Rating. Visit www.resnet.us for complete details on the HERS Index®. All energy cost and savings figures are approximate. All information was compiled from a variety of sources. Features and specifications may change without notice. Energy$mart℠ program is applicable to single family detached homes only. Please see a Mid-Atlantic Builders Sales Counselor for details.
