HERS Index Ratings for New Homes

For builders desiring to market their homes' HERS Index rating to promote improved home energy performance to consumers, SkyeTec provides home energy ratings of new homes, as well as marketing and educational materials for consumers.  The builder’s homes are clearly differentiated, and the homebuyer has a better understanding of the benefits of a high performing, energy efficient home.

SkyeTec provides HERS Index documentation for new homes by performing the required third party verification services. The program provides a cost-effective means for builders to promote energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

SkyeTec’s  Process:

• Modeling, Analysis & Consulting:  Our initial plan review models the home for energy efficiency and provides a preliminary HERS Index rating

• Field Inspection: The thermal bypass inspection at pre-drywall stage ensures the home is adhering to the design specifications and is on target to meet the efficiency rating

• Performance Testing: The building air-tightness and duct system air-tightness tests provide size and amount of air leakage through the building envelope and the duct system

• Training & Educational Support: SkyeTec provides multiple, on-site trainings of the building practices required to meet the intended HERS Index rating

• Utility Program Coordination and Support: SkyeTec can provide documentation necessary for any utility or governmental energy efficiency rebate program

• Marketing Support: SkyeTec’s marketing team can assist the builder with messaging on the benefits of high energy performing homes for consumers
