RESNET Executive Director Steve Baden commented on the pickup in the number homes issued a HERS Index Score, �These numbers reflect that home energy ratings are fast becoming a mainstream in the U.S. housing market.
It is also encouraging that the average HERS Index Score was 64.� This is 36% more efficient than homes built as recently as 2006 and 66% more efficient than a typical re-sale home.
Homebuilders are increasingly seeing energy efficiency as a major selling point for buying a new home.� To take advantage of this opportunity builders across the nation are presenting their homes� energy performance in a way that every home buyer can understand, the home�s HERS Index Score.� I expect that this trend will continue.�
To learn what is driving this trend, attend the 2014 RESNET Building Performance Conference.� The RESNET Conference is the �not-to-miss� event on home energy ratings and home performance.� For more information go to 2014 RESNET Building Performance Conference��
