What does “HERS” mean?


The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the industry standard by which a home's energy efficiency is measured. It's also the nationally recognized system for inspecting and calculating a home's energy performance.  A HERS Index score of 100 is average for a newly built Reference Home.
