Building high performance homes requires in-depth knowledge and training of energy efficiency measures, and not every builder meets these requirements. RESNET Energy Smart Builders understand how to build homes that are highly energy efficient, so that homeowners can benefit from lower energy costs and greater home comfort. They are committed to increasing the energy performance of the homes they build, and to having all of their homes energy rated as per RESNET’s rigorous standards.

Homes built in compliance with the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code score a HERS index of 100. The typical 10 year old home scores around 130 meaning it uses approximately 30% more energy than today’s code built home. Energy Star qualified homes have a maximum index of 85 and U.S. Department of Energy’s Builders Challenge qualified homes have a maximum index of 70. A typical CHB home hers scores from the low 50’s. This means our homes use around 50% less energy than our local competitors' new homes. Our clients are presented with documentation of the final HERS score so future resale buyers and appraisers can properly evaluate the home. See our projects at Houzz.com.
