HERS® Home Energy Rating System

What is a HERS Index?

The HERS Index is a scoring system established by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) in which a home built to the specifications of the HERS Reference Home (based on the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code) scores a HERS Index of 100, while a net zero energy home scores a HERS Index of 0. The lower the HERS Index, the more efficient the home, which means you will save on your monthly energy bills.

A John Henry Home is rated better than a Typical New Home on the HERS Index.

The "typical new home" HERS index of 100 is based on a home built to the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code. The HERS® Index is a registered trademark of RESNET. Additional information on the HERS Index and RESNET can be found at the RESNET website. The HERS Index is computed by an independent rater who is a member of RESNET using RESNET approved software. The HERS Index is not a warranty or guaranty of energy efficiency. The typical existing home HERS Index of 130 is a U.S. Department of Energy rating per its EnergySmart SM Home Scale located at http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/challenge/energysmart.html.
